NUTR 581 US Food Regulations credit: 4 Hours.
Throughout the semester, students will learn the principles of US food regulations and how these regulations influence the US food industry. The course will explore the main US food regulations, enforcement actions, trade associations, and the Codex Alimentarius. Students will apply their learning by completing individual assignments and participating in optional group exercises and will integrate and apply graduate level knowledge of food regulations by working throughout the semester on a capstone project. 4 graduate hours.

NUTR 582 Personalized Nutrition credit: 4 Hours.
A “one size fits all” approach to nutrition may not work for everyone. We each have unique variations in our genome, epigenome and microbiome, which interact with our external environment to affect how our bodies respond to dietary intake. Students will learn how our unique biological make-up can be a way to establish more personalized approaches to diet, new approaches to analyzing personalized nutrition data, and what direct-to-consumer personalize nutrition products and services are available. 4 graduate hours. No professional credit. Prerequisite: Restricted to graduate students.
NUTR 583 Nutrition Policy credit: 4 Hours.
Throughout the semester students will learn about the policy making process and the evidence-base at the interface of nutrition policy. Students will explore complex questions about how government has responded to diet-related health problems and will examine the role for government in efforts to facilitate healthy eating. In addition, information on how to develop and evaluate policy approaches to improve diet quality and reduce the burden of diet-related disease among all people will be presented. 4 graduate hours. No professional credit. Credit is not given toward graduation for NUTR 583 and NUTR 510 Nutrition Policy (NUTR 510, section A; or ANSC 525, section A; or FSHN 510, section A). Prerequisite: Restricted to graduate students.
