Our department is home to nearly 40 faculty, over 40 graduate students, and over 500 undergraduate students across our three undergraduate majors: Dietetics, Food Science, and Nutritional Sciences. We work to solve contemporary issues in food production, quality and safety, nutrient function and health and chronic disease prevention.
