This minor is not equivalent to the registered dietitian license and does not provide a license to practice therapeutic nutrition.

Students are required to take an introductory nutrition course such as GCH 295. To complete the minor, students are required to pass 15 credits of undergraduate course work. At least 6 credits must be completed at Mason, and no more than 3 credits of C- or D in the minor are accepted.
