NOTES:
1. Check and consult the Undergraduate Calendar for former course numbers and other equivalents for prerequisites.
2. Students must take BIOL 1410 Anatomy of the Human Body or BIOL 1020 Biology 1 and BIOL 1030 Biology 2 AND require BIOL 1412 Physiology of the Human Body (3 credits) in order to take HNSC 3310 Macronutrients and Human Health and HNSC 3300 Vitamins and Minerals in Human Health. Free electives must be used to meet this requirement for BIOL 1412, if BIOL 1020 and BIOL 1030 are taken.
3. Students can take either BIOL 1412 (Physiology of the Human Body) or BIOL 2410 (Human Physiology 1) and BIOL 2420 (Human Physiology 2).
4. Students can take either CHEM 2770/MBIO 2770 (Elements of Biochemistry 1) or CHEM 2360/MBIO 2360 (Biochemistry 1: Bio-molecules and an Introduction to Metabolic Energy. Students can take either CHEM 2780/MBIO 2780 (Elements of Biochemistry 2) or CHEM 2370/MBIO 2370 (Biochemistry 2: Catabolism, Synthesis, and Information Pathways).
5. A Minor in Management is offered by the Asper School of Business for Human Ecology students. Refer to the Undergraduate Calendar for details. You may supplement MKT 2210 (required) and the 9 credit hours of Management courses taken for program electives with 6 more credit hours of Management courses to complete the Management Minor. Also, students may choose to complete a Voluntary Minor. Refer to the Undergraduate Calendar for details.
6. Program Electives – choose 9 credit hours from either the Asper School of Business, or from the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences 3rd and 4th year courses only. Plan ahead to take the correct prerequisites for Food Science courses. Students must take courses designated only as FOOD courses (may not be co-taught with an HNSC course) to fulfill the program elective for Food Science 3rd and 4th year courses.
7. Electives are the student’s choice. Consider taking more courses from Human Nutritional Sciences (see below).
