The Human Nutrition Center has an educational resource center for students in the Nutritional Sciences. A small resource center with over 250 books and 20 periodicals is available for student use. In addition, a computer cluster, dietetics software, audiovisual equipment, anthropometric equipment, food models and graphic arts supplies are also available for student presentations and projects. The Nutritional Sciences Program is strongly committed to academic advising. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this commitment by seeking the counsel of their advisor as soon as possible.
Advisors are most helpful when kept informed of the student s interests and career goals.
Students who maintain contact with their advisors will encounter fewer problems in planning their curriculum and satisfying University, ADA, and departmental requirements. If the two majors have two distinct degrees, e.g., B.A., B.S. or some other designated degree, the student must choose which of the two is to be awarded and fulfill all the requirements for that degree. No more than eight credits used to satisfy major requirements in one major may be used to satisfy major requirements in the other major. It is possible to pursue two degrees simultaneously. A candidate for two degrees must complete 160 credits, which is the equivalent of five years of academic work.
