Our department is made up of four academic interest areas and offers multiple degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

We are proud to be home to nationally accredited programs in dietetics and athletic training. We have world-renowned faculty who provide expertise in the areas of nutritional sciences, human and clinical sciences, public health and food safety and sensory analysis and consumer behavior. Along with their research, these experts work hands-on with our undergraduate and graduate students to provide them with a top-notch education and prepare them for success in their future careers.

Our graduates have gone on to do great things in their communities and in the world. We look forward to helping all our future students achieve whatever they define as success in their future careers.
