Minor in Sports Nutrition

The minor in Nutrition Studies is for students in majors related to human performance science who want a foundation that will support performance through nutrition in physically focused professions, including first responders, military personnel, athletic training, coaching, and sports dietetics.

Students will learn how to develop nutrition recommendations to guide athletes and others to improve their health and performance.
