Overview

The Nutritional Sciences Program at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is designed to provide a strong foundation in biological, physical, and social sciences, in order to understand the relationships among food, nutrients, eating behavior, and human health.
You’ll benefit from smaller class sizes, personal attention from our dedicated faculty, and hands-on experiences including service-learning and “real world” supervised learning opportunities throughout the curriculum.

An undergraduate degree in Nutritional Sciences is ideal preparation for many ACEND-accredited graduate-level dietetics programs. Most of the prerequisite courses required for admission to such programs are built directly into the degree.

Employment Outlook

BS in Nutritional Sciences graduates can be employed by a wide-variety of organizations:

Community nutrition programs (Women, Infants, & Children – better known as WIC, nutrition education programs)
Non-governmental organizations
Fitness/wellness companies
Major research centers
Biotechnology, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries

Specialized skills or training such as service learning with local, national, or international community organizations, research experience, bilingual proficiency, or journalism courses and experience, make students more competitive for other specialized jobs, including:

Food security advocacy groups (food banks, anti-poverty organizations)
Health advocacy organizations (preventing osteoporosis, cancer, or heart disease)
Groups/agencies working to increase food security (farmers’ market organizers, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [formerly called food stamps] as educators or administrators).
