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 />
