Nutrition minor revamp & FA25 course opportunities

 If you’ve taken NUTR 201, PHHE 295, or ENVS 210, you’re already on your way to completing a minor in Nutrition, Health, and Wellness — and now it’s easier than ever to finish!

We’ve made exciting changes to increase access and flexibility across all majors:
 More elective options to explore topics like Nutrition through the Lifecycle, Nutrition Education, and Nutrition in Relation to Sports and Exercise
 Fewer prerequisites – so you can enroll in more courses without added requirements
 Courses available every semester, with several offered online or in hybrid formats


Whether you're interested in health promotion, food systems, or just want to deepen your understanding of nutrition for personal or professional growth, this minor adds value to your degree and career readiness.

The department priority deadline to enroll in classes is by next Wednesday, May 14.  You will not be billed for the course until September.
