This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to apply the skills and information acquired in previous courses to a real world problem in natural resources and environmental science. The class will focus on a single current issue in Kentucky and will research that issue in depth, using a variety of techniques, including library research, interview, and data collection and analysis. In addition to research and problem-solving skills, written and oral skills will be emphasized. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, two hours per week.

Independent study on a research question or problem in nutritional sciences; the topic is selected in collaboration with a faculty mentor, and the research is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. The goal of this course is for students to have an authentic research experience working directly with a faculty member and/or a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow in data collection and analysis, as well as conducting a portion of the research project independently.

This course examines the intersecting aspects of pharmacology and nutritional sciences through exploration of: 1) the mechanisms and effects of drug and nutrient interactions, 2) the latest research related to genetic, microbial and temporal effects on drug action and nutritional status, and 3) current findings and future directions in nutritional pharmacology.

The material covered in NS/CNU/AS 602 consists of two major emphasis areas: (1) properties, biological functions, and metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds (micronutrients), and (2) influence of functional interactions with these and other nutrients on health and disease. The objective of this course is to provide students with a strong knowledge base related to micronutrient metabolism in the context of select conditions and energy balance.
