Graduate School: Spring/Summer Semester
As much as I’ve enjoyed my coursework this spring and summer, I am glad to be on to my last semester this fall.
FSHN 506: Nutrition & Human Performance
South Dakota State University | Professor Elizabeth Droke
This course is designed for students to develop an understanding of nutrition based upon knowledge of the biochemical and physiological process and functions of specific nutrients in meeting nutritional requirements. The course emphasizes the relationship of optimal nutrition and physical efficiency and performance.
EDRM: Principles of Quantitative Data Analysis
University of Nebraska-Lincoln | Professor Charles Ansorge
Students are introduced to statistical methods applied to experimental and survey data from social or natural sciences; test of hypotheses concerning treatment means; linear regression; product-moment, rank, and biserial correlations; contingency tables and chi-square tests.
FSHN 540: Nutrigenomics and Advanced Lipid Metabolism
Colorado State University | Professor Erica Daniell
This course is designed to give students the opportunity to explore and integrate topics and ideas that are at the forefront of the field of nutritional science. Students examine topics that are new and/or controversial and have implications that range from the cellular/molecular /biochemical level up to clinical/educational level. The primary goal of this course is to emphasize the integrative and complex nature of human nutrition research from basic science to clinical studies to population studies and dietary recommendations.
NUTR-760 Vitamins and Minerals in Human Nutrition
South Dakota State University | Professor Igor Sergeev
The course features interrelationships of micronutrients in terms of biochemistry, physiology, genetics, and nutrition. Emphasis of the course is on developing understanding of how the coordination of structure and function is related to metabolic needs of the cell and its response to the environment. This integrated approach forms the basis for evaluating the micronutrient needs of humans in both normal and altered metabolic states.
DN-837 Nutrition in Diabetes
Kansas University Medical Center | Professor Amy Huelle
An in-depth study of diabetes management with emphasis in nutrition care. Topics include diabetes pathophysiology, clinical care guidelines, basic pharmacology, clinical nutrition education, counseling strategies, and nutrtion care planning.
