comparisons use the same terms. Cross-listed courses count once within
this department and once across UW; department totals should not be
added together. Grade counts are not unique students. Offering counts

Assessments included three exams and several homework assignments. Students reported that exam questions were based directly on lecture slides, making the material manageable.
Comparative Animal Nutrition covers nutrient assimilation, function, and interactions affecting mammalian metabolism, using species differences to emphasize digestive and physiological roles.
Information comes fast, making the course tough. Homework and quiz questions are written oddly, which can make it difficult to determine exactly what is being asked.
Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism covers biochemical and physiological fundamentals of nutrition, including protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy, minerals, and vitamins in nutrition and metabolism.
Principles of Human Disease and Biotechnology covers biochemical principles related to human disease, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and biotechnology tools like CRISPR.
Advanced nutrition course covering principles of metabolic control for macronutrients, including protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, fuel sensing, and metabolism in disease.
Global Health Field Experience offers specialized educational experiences addressing global health topics through interdisciplinary approaches, including applied public health activities or service learning projects with communities and伙伴.
Overview of career paths in human nutrition, exploring the relationship between dietary intake and health across scientific research, healthcare, education, product development, and policy.
NUTRITION TODAY explores nutrition's relationship to human biological, social, and physical environments, addressing current issues affecting the nutritional status of various population groups.
Homework was easy but required strict adherence to due dates to avoid grade penalties. Students reported that tests were significantly harder than expected, despite the ease of the regular assignments.
Independent study for independent research in nutritional sciences under the direct guidance of a Nutritional Sciences faculty or instructional academic staff member.
Human Nutritional Needs covers the biochemical and physiological basis of human nutritional requirements, including essential nutrients and metabolic pathways.
Problem sets focused heavily on Excel with minimal guidance, while online honor-locked exams were described as way harder than necessary. Bresnahan did not prepare students well for these assessments, making the content harder than it needed to be.
An undergraduate capstone seminar laboratory covering current topics in Nutritional Sciences and preparing students to deliver oral research presentations.
Community Nutrition and Health Equity covers foundations of community nutrition, factors affecting programs, and delivering nutrition education to diverse and vulnerable populations.
Clinical Nutrition II covers advanced pathology, medical nutrition therapy, and nutrition support related to disease-induced changes in nutrition and metabolism, including therapeutic nutrition research.
Applications in Clinical Nutrition II focuses on clinical problem solving, medical record assessment, diet planning, and literature review to develop critical thinking and communication skills for dietetic interns.
Advanced Clinical Nutrition - Pediatrics covers pediatric nutritional requirements with emphasis on issues related to evidence-based medical nutrition therapy.
Advanced course applying counseling and education theories to nutrition and dietetics, emphasizing nutrition psychology, psychoanalytic approaches, and group facilitation.
Clinical Nutrition Research covers research use and development for clinical nutrition practice, including literature use in evidence-based practice, methodology, analysis, and reporting.
Examines regulatory and structural functions of vitamins and minerals from a biochemical and molecular perspective, focusing on clinical nutrition issues.
First of two supervised practice experiences in nutrition and dietetics at University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and affiliated sites for dietetic interns.
Supervised practice in nutrition and dietetics at UW Hospital and Clinics, focusing on clinical nutrition, food systems, research, and community work for dietetic interns.
Nutraceuticals for Healthcare Professionals covers principles to evaluate and utilize bioactive food components and dietary supplements, including federal regulations and scientific evidence on their efficacy.
Senior Honors Thesis course involving individual study and research for students completing theses under direct guidance of a Nutritional Science faculty or instructional academic staff member.
