Nutritional Science Minor
The purpose of the Nutritional Science minor is to provide students with knowledge to: (a) make informed nutrition choices, (b) educate others about proper nutrition, (c) understand the community health systems and governmental agencies that provide nutritional sustenance for those who cannot afford it, and (d) interpret labels according to FDA guidelines.
The minor is open to any current IU Kokomo student who has a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. It is also open to graduates and community members who have a B.A. or B.S. degree with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. For successful completion of the minor, students must attain a C in each required and elective course.
It is the student’s responsibility to consult their school/unit to determine the suitability and practicality of the minor. This minor is not available to Health Science students who have a concentration in Nutritional Sciences.
