Overview

Program Description The Nutritional Sciences undergraduate curriculum works well as a preparation for medical school and other health-related professions (Dentistry, Physicians Assistant, Physical Therapy, Naturopathy, etc.). With some variability, graduate school for these professions share a common set of prerequisite courses, most of which are also required for a BS in Nutritional Sciences. These courses are listed in the Pre-Medical Profession Plan of Study. This plan does require more organic chemistry than the minimum needed for a BS in Nutritional Sciences. It also adds calculus and physics, though the specific requirements may vary with the particular health profession. The knowledge gained with a BS in Nutritional Sciences is directly relevant to medical practice, and this is particularly important since nutrition is often poorly addressed in medical school curriculums. Despite this, relatively few medical school applicants come from Nutritional Sciences undergraduate programs, making those that do stand out from the crowd.
