Comprehensive Nutrition Education: These two courses offer a comprehensive exploration of nutrition and its multifaceted applications. In "Nutrition Across the Lifespan," students delve into the principles of nutrition and their impact on health throughout the entire lifecycle. Hands-on cooking labs, focused on different life stages, teach practical skills, including kitchen equipment use, food preparation, and safety. Students compile portfolios comprising classroom materials, group work, and projects, ensuring they grasp the science of nutrition and gain culinary expertise.

Meanwhile, "Nutrition Science and Diet Therapy" is tailored for those interested in applying nutrition knowledge to health and disease. It covers nutrition fundamentals, nutrient metabolism, and food preparation for specific health-related dietary needs. Emphasis is placed on food safety and sanitation. In both courses, students create portfolios that document their learning journey, incorporating classroom resources, collaborative efforts, and individual projects. These courses equip students with valuable skills and knowledge, preparing them to address dietary concerns and promote health through nutrition science and diet therapy.
