Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Nutritional<br />

Biology offers programs of study and research<br />

leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The great<br />

diversity of research interests represented by the faculty<br />

members allows students to choose from a wide<br />

variety of themes: nutritional biochemistry, animal<br />

nutrition, nutrition and development, nutrient bioavailability,<br />

human/clinical nutrition, nutrition and<br />

behavior, nutritional energetics, community nutrition,<br />

maternal and child nutrition, nutrition and endocrinology,<br />

international nutrition, obesity/body composition,<br />

physiology of digestion, nutrition and chronic<br />

disease, culture and nutrition, nutrition and gene<br />

expression, nutrition and aging, food preferences,<br />

nutrition and immunity, diet and exercise, dietary<br />

assessment, protein and lipid metabolism, food<br />

intake regulation, nutrition education.<br />

The Major Program<br />

The study of nutrition encompasses all aspects of the<br />

consumption and utilization of food and its constituents.<br />

Key areas of study include the biochemical<br />

reactions important to utilization of nutrients and<br />

food constituents and to the impact of diet on health<br />

and disease, and nutrition-related policy and public<br />

health issues. The nutrition science major includes<br />

two options for studying these areas: nutritional biochemistry<br />

and community nutrition.<br />

The Program. Nutrition as it is taught on the <strong>Davis</strong><br />

campus is a biological science and requires a complete<br />

background in chemistry and biology, along<br />

with calculus and either physics (nutritional biochemistry<br />

option) or economics (community nutrition<br />

option). These courses are generally completed during<br />

the first two years, and along with biochemistry,<br />

must be completed before most nutrition classes can<br />

be taken. During their junior and senior years, students<br />

in the nutritional biochemistry option take<br />

additional course work in biochemistry, genetics,<br />

microbiology, physiology, immunology, and/or toxicology.<br />

Students in the community nutrition option<br />

take additional course work in social and healthrelated<br />

sciences.<br />

Career Alternatives. Both options are excellent<br />

preparation for professional or graduate training in<br />

medicine, public health, or other health sciences.<br />

The nutritional biochemistry option also provides<br />

preparation for technical work in nutrition in the animal,<br />

food, and pharmaceutical industries. The community<br />

nutrition option prepares students for jobs in<br />

administrative, teaching, or public health/public service<br />

positions. Students who complete the additional<br />

academic requirements for an internship in dietetics<br />

are also qualified for careers in dietetics following<br />

completion of an internship.<br />
