The Sport’s Nutrition Educator graduate will have demonstrated competence and knowledge in chemistry, anatomy, physiology, diet analysis and design, sports and fitness nutrition, diet therapy, lifespan nutrition, research, and related exercise science topics with cultural application and sensitivity for individuals and athletes.
