Nutrition 2102 / 3102
Course Description
Through Nutrition 2102, students will closely examine the role of nutrients in food and how they affect overall growth and development. They will also gain skills in how to choose the healthiest food based on lifecycle needs, health status, economic circumstances and lifestyle. A focus on preparation techniques will better prepare students for the time in their lives when food choices become their responsibility.
Nutrition 3102 draws the learner toward an examination of overall health and how a variety of factors come into play. Such influences as media, lifestyle and medical history are examined. From a national and global perspective, food is studied in terms of its production, technological advances and security. The learner will be able to see the role that he/she can play locally, nationally and internationally to help manage resources and to action plans to ensure a safe, secure food system.
Food laboratories are part of both courses.
