Food is fundamental to life and health.
Scientific research has demonstrated that what and how much we eat can affect profoundly how we grow, develop, and age as well as our ability to enjoy life to its fullest. The best undergraduate and graduate programs in foods and nutrition promote students' understanding of the interrelationships of nutrition, foods, and health, and they develop students' critical thinking and problem solving skills. The mission of the Department of Foods and Nutrition is to prepare students to function as professionals, to meet changing needs of society and industry in the areas of Foods and Nutrition, to generate scholarly work in our discipline, and to educate the public about special issues in nutrition and foods.
