This course covers the essential aspects of organic and biochemistry as they relate to nutrient metabolism. Most of the course addresses the biochemical basis of nutrient metabolism including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Chemical structure, nutrient anabolic and catabolic processes, enzyme and hormonal regulation, and gene-nutrient and protein interaction are surveyed. Normal and clinical nutrition applications biochemical principles are highlighted. and nutrition research article literacy is addressed.
Prerequisite:
NTD 370 requires a prerequisite of a C or better in NTD 303 and CHE 107.
-

The goal of this class is for the student to understand the profession and practice of nutrition and dietetics, nutrition and physical assessment and the nutrition care process. Classroom and simulated experiences in clinical issues, nutritional assessment, planning, implementing nutritional care, and documenting in medical records will be completed. Students will also be introduced to medical terminology and abbreviations. Nutritional assessment methods will be applied to evaluating nutritional status in the individual.
Prerequisite:
NTD 400 requires prerequisites of a C or better in BIO 269, CHE 107, and NTD 309.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a required course in the "Lifestyle Nutrition" concentration. It examines nutrition screening and assessment techniques to understand the use of dietary, biochemical and anthropometric data related to health and disease prevention. The pathophysiology, etiology and prevention of certain medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular disease, bone disease and cancer will be examined. Other topics examined include nutrients and medication interactions and dietary supplements.
Prerequisite:
NTD 404 requires a prerequisite of NTD 309.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of food and the effects of processing, storage, and preservation on the structure, composition, palatability, and nutritive value of food. Sensory evaluation techniques and application of the scientific method are integral to this course.
Prerequisite:
NTD 408 requires a prerequisite of a C or better in NTD 370 and NTD 205.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will focus on the development of nutrition counseling, oral and written communication, and media and skills. A familiarization with dietetics-related professional organizations, graduate school opportunities, and dietetic internships will be provided. Assistance with the dietetic internship and graduate school application process will be given. This course aims to provide students with the oral, written and technical skills necessary for effective client and public education. Specifically, practical experience in the classroom and in the field will help the student focus on improving skills in client interviewing and counseling, writing, and in designing and delivering a presentation.

Prerequisite:
NTD 411 requires a prerequisite of a C or better in BIO 269 and NTD 370.
-
3.00 Credits
The goal of this course is for the student to understand the nutrition care process as it applies to disease management, develop a variety of disease specific case studies, and the process for determining the appropriate disease or health condition specific nutrition intervention. Students are expected to integrate nutritional assessment information, drug-nutrient interaction data, disease pathophysiology, and Medical Nutrition Therapy principles to design nutrition care plans and apply disease specific medical terminology and abbreviations.
Prerequisite:
NTD 413 requires prerequisites of a C or better in NTD 381 and NTD 400, as well as a corequisite of NTD 411 (or a C or better in NTD 411 if taken before NTD 413).
