The Nutritional Science option is a B.S. degree program of study that integrates nutritional science, anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics and human physiology. The basic science foundation upon which this curriculum is built prepares students for earning the M.S degree at Tuskegee University or other institutions in either applied community nutrition or nutritional biochemistry. During the sophomore year of this four year program, students take courses in specialized areas of nutrition and related sciences. Careers with USDA as well as in public health facilities are available after graduation. Individuals with advanced degrees may elect to work in either colleges or universities in teaching or research, the private sector, or work in the federal government.
