Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise

Our mission is to discover, translate, and disseminate health-related advances in the nutrition, food, and exercise sciences.

Our faculty promote health and wellness with an emphasis on translational science, service to the community, and providing quality education for students.  We continuously foster innovation in research, education, and regional outreach to improve the nation's health. 

HNFE's unique fusion of nutrition and exercise sciences positions us as a leader in education, prevention, research, and translational studies.  We're examining the psychosocial aspects of health, behavioral interventions, human performance, and youth and adult weight management with a focus on chronic disease and prevention.
