The faculty of the Nutrition Department,
observing changes in the job market and meeting the needs of its students,
altered the program curriculum originally established in 1982. Davis
recalled that the faculty decided to remove one of the anatomy classes
and replace it with a class in exercise physiology for students who
plan to go into the sports nutrition area. "It is a more valuable
class for students to have, "confided Davis.
Benedictine offers a nutrition major, as it indicates in its Mission
and Goals' Statement, to "prepare future nutritionists, registered
dietitians, and nutrition managers to address important food and nutrition
issues that impact the quality of people's life." The objectives
of the program amongst others include understanding the impact of proper
nutrition on the wellness of one's body, along with the ability to choose
good quality food in order to lower one's risk for disease.
