Description:
Revision of the Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition
Department of Human Nutrition
College of Applied Health Sciences
In Spring 2003, the campus approved the addition of a second
undergraduate concentration in the Department of Human Nutrition
effective fall 2003. Corrections are being made to the original
information as approved.
1. In the original document, the concentrations were designated as:
 Professional Concentration
 Standard Didactic Concentration
The names for these two concentrations should be changed to
 Coordinated Program Concentration
 Nutrition Science Concentration
2. The following four courses were included as requirements for the
Nutrition Science Concentration:
HN 302, Culture and Food, 2 hours
HN 306, Nutrition Education, 4 hours
HN 330, Quantity Food Production, 3 hours
HN 332, Food Service Management, 2 hours
These courses will be removed from the Nutrition Science
Concentration. This concentration requires a total of 60 hours, with 120
hours required for the BS in Human Nutrition. The total hours required
for the degree remain unchanged because students will choose remaining
coursework from electives to complete the 60 hours required for the
concentration and degree.
In addition, an error is being corrected in the catalog for the Professional
Concentration, making total hours required for this concentration 136
rather than 137.
Justification: 1. Changing the name of the concentrations to “Coordinated Program”
and “Nutrition Science” more accurately reflects the program contents
and intents and is in keeping with the terminology typically used in
undergraduate nutrition programs. This change will not effect any other
departments.
2. HN 302, 306, 330, and 332 are being removed as requirements in the
Nutrition Science Concentration because students in this track may desire
graduate training in medicine, public health, dentistry, nutrition or they
may wish to complete requirements to apply for dietetic internships.
Minimizing the requirements will allow individualization of the program
to meet the needs of this diverse student body.
