Undergraduate Courses

NST 200. Advanced Organismal Nutrition and Metabolism (3)
Critical analysis of concepts and research methods relating to nutritional metabolism and its regulation in intact organisms are studied. Areas covered include the basis of nutrient requirements and nutritional assessment, integration of metabolic pathways, research techniques, nutritional diseases, and specific topics such as calcium, vitamins, and trace elements. (Sp)

NST 250. Metabolic Regulation (4)
Principles of metabolic regulation in mammalian systems. Metabolic control enzymes and pathway fluxes in cells, tissues and the whole organism with emphasis on how metabolic control of pathways changes in response to nutritional status. Recent advances in methodologies for studying nutrient control of metabolism, ranging from moleculargenetic to isotopic techniques. (F)

NST 211 A/B. Introduction to Research in Nutritional Sciences (4-8)
Closely supervised experimental work under the direction of individual faculty members; an introduction to experimental methods and research approaches in areas of Nut Sciences. (F,Sp)

NST 290. Advanced Seminars in Nutritional Sciences (1-2)
Advanced study of topics in nutritional sciences. (F,Sp)

NST 292. Graduate Research Colloquium (1) Presentations by graduate students of research proposals and results of their research. Participation in discussion and evaluation of others' presentations is required. (F,Sp)
NS292 course information

NST 293. Research Seminar (1)
Presentation and discussion of current faculty research projects and experimental techniques in nutritional sciences. Intended primarily for first year graduate students. (F)

NST 298. Directed Group Studies (1-4)
Special study in various fields of nutritional sciences. Topics will vary depending on interests of qualified graduate students and availability of staff. (F,Sp)

NST 299. Research in Food and Nutrition (1-12)
Supervised graduate research under the direction of an individual faculty member. (F,Sp,Su)

NST 301. Professional Preparation: Teaching in Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology (1)
Creative approaches to teaching nutrition to diverse audiences are emphasized. Participants will identify needs of target populations, formulate educational objectives, design and/or utilizes motivational teaching strategies, and evaluate the impact of their teaching on knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Graduates may become teaching assistants. (F)
NST301 Syllabus

NST 302. Professional Preparation: Supervised Teaching Experience in Nutrition (1-4)
