About the course

The Interdepartmental Nutrition Program consists of faculty from multiple departments, including: Animal Science, Agricultural and Human Sciences, Food, Bioprocessing, and Nutrition Sciences, Horticultural Science, Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, and the Prestage Department of Poultry Science. Students reside and conduct research in one of these departments under the direction of an appropriate advisor. Research in the nutrition program may be conducted with a variety of species and at various levels, such as molecular, cell, whole animal, and human communities. Research programs are primarily in the area of nutritional biochemistry, experimental animal nutrition (e.g. horses, ruminants, swine, poultry, rodents, and other species), or community nutrition and public health. Graduates find employment in academia, government, industry, and non-profit organizations, or continue their education in medical and allied health fields.

　　This option is for students seeking nutrition experience to obtain a technical research position or to work toward a Ph.D. Research activities are diverse, ranging from the molecular level to the whole animal. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
