Required courses for Nutritional Sciences/International Agriculture and Natural Resources MajorsA faculty advisor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences (the "home" department for the major) will assist in planning your schedule. Completion of the CALS degree requirements will satisfy all University General Education Requirements (GER). All CALS students must meet both the college's requirement for written and oral communication and the university requirement for Communications A and B. In addition, CALS college-wide course requirements in Economics, Ethnic Studies, Humanities, Social Science, and International Studies must also be met. A hallmark of the major in Nutritional Sciences/International Agriculture and Natural Resources is that courses can be chosen from many options by the student to tailor their program to their individual needs and interests. For example, six credits are required in Social Sciences Related to International Agriculture and Natural Resources and these credits can be obtained from any of over 80 different courses. Please see an academic advisor for assistance in designing your curriculum to your needs. A Four Year Road Map is available for advice on when to take which courses.
