major, contains a considerable number of required courses. There are, however,
opportunities for some elective courses. Students interested in an additional major
in Dietetics can use elective credits to take the additional HNF courses needed to
complete this additional major. Likewise, the Specialization in Health Promotion can
be completed by selecting elective credits within this specialization.
Listed below are a variety of other elective courses to consider,
especially if you have interest in medical school or sciences. Of course, the list of possibilities is endless and really depends on your
professional goals and personal interests.

Independent Study
HNF 490 is open each
semester to juniors and seniors interested in individual study of selected topics in
nutrition. This course allows students to
explore interests in a particular area outside of a normal classroom setting. The professor helps with the exploration by

Meeting with your adviser is the first step in the process of
establishing an experience. Once you decide what area you
would like to explore, your adviser can direct you to professors with expertise in a given
area. Your interests, past experiences and
courses completed will be considered when the independent study or practicum experience
contract is made. Your expectations of the
professor and the professor's expectation of you will
be spelled out in the contract.
