This course covers the principles of food microbiology, important food borne diseases, standards that are enforced by regulatory agencies, and applied measures for the prevention of food borne diseases and other microbiological problems. It leads to certification from the National Restaurant Association.
This course provides a study of dietetics practice including professional ethics, standards of practice, scope of practice, credential attainment and maintenance, competencies required for entry level practice, and responsibilities as a professional. Lectures and assignments will provide exploration of dietetics practice in medical nutrition therapy, food service management, delivery of nutrition services, and dietetics in general.
The physical and chemical principles involved in the preparation of foods and the application of these principles to control for quality outcomes. Laboratory experiences link theory to practice to ensure that the standards of safety and overall quality factors are applied to maximize nutrient retention while maintaining the acceptability and nutritional qualities of foods produced for individuals and groups. Lecture, one hour; Laboratory, four hours.

An introductory study of the biochemical basis of nutrition--the physiochemical properties of nutrients and other essential biochemicals and their role in physiological and metabolic processes.
A study of the physiological changes occurring in the human life cycle with associated nutrient needs. The course focuses on assessment and determination of nutrition issues and nutrition education for individuals from in-utero to toddlerhood. Nutrition education programs on a community level will be addressed at each stage of the life cycle.
Students will engage in experiential learning in a pre-approved volunteer, internship, study abroad, or paid work experience related to the world fight against hunger and social injustice.
An introduction to the production and service of food in quantity, to include the application of production techniques and controls, menu planning and service. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, 4.5 hours per week.
Study of research, ethics, and methodology for designing, managing, and synthesizing evidence based research in dietetics. Students develop critical thinking, writing, and oral communication skills through scientific literature searches, interpretation of data, and development of a news brief, newsletter article, and literature review with accompanying oral presentations. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
Investigation of recent research in dietetics and human nutrition. May be repeated to a maximum of three credits. Nutritional Sciences graduate students may not enroll for graduate credit.
