Bachelor of Arts - Nutrition

As a nutrition major, students focus on the multifaceted relationship between food, nutrients, and human health. Students explore areas such as nutritional demands and requirements, human physiology and metabolism, socio-cultural aspects of food and nutrition, and policy and food system influences on dietary health.

A key aspect of the program is the opportunity to put theory into practice through tailored internships, including the Ohio Wesleyan University Cooking Matters program. The nutrition major prepares students to pursue careers in nutrition, dietetics, community health, health education, food justice and advocacy, food industry work, and related graduate programs.
