The Public Health Nutrition Minor is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and address the interplay between nutrition and public health. This minor offers a complementary curriculum for students who are majoring in a health-focused field, science-focused field, and liberal arts. The coursework for the minor offers students exposure to interdisciplinary aspects of public health nutrition, such as education and communication, epidemiology, systems, and policy.
