A study of the principles of human nutrition throughout the life cycle. Current topics and controversies in nutrition and health are discussed. A personal dietary analysis is a component of this course.

NUTR 201 fulfills a laboratory science requirement for the undergraduate general education curriculum and therefore students will generally be non-Nutrition majors.

Qualifications:

• Required: Master’s degree in Nutrition. Preferred: PhD in Nutrition. (Note that postgraduate qualifications in related fields such as fitness, exercise physiology, kinesiology, cooking, culinary arts, health, etc. do not meet the accreditation criteria for this course and applicants without a Masters or Phd in Nutrition need not apply.)
• Applicants should be able to demonstrate prior teaching experience and effectiveness in the classroom, ideally supported by teaching evaluations.
• Experience working with American or international students is desirable.
• Candidates must be able to demonstrate their legal right to work in the UK.
