In the field of nutrition, global experiences can expose students to unique health environments and expand students' knowledge of culturally specific health approaches. Students gain a deeper understanding of how food and culture intertwine and how to communicate nutritional and sanitary standards to a diverse audience. Students' resumes are enhanced with the heightened communication, cultural competency and critical thinking skills they acquired through study abroad.
The College of Health Solutions recommends these study abroad programs for students majoring in nutrition.
