UW-La Crosse introduces new major in food and nutrition science

1 day ago

LA CROSSE (WKBT) -- UW-La Crosse announced they are offering a new major.

Students will now be able to major in food and nutrition science, a new 120-credit program approved by the UW Board of Regents in June.

The new major will expand on their existing nutrition minor and offer learning and research opportunities in food science, food safety and food systems.

Staff spearheading the new program say experts in this field will be crucial as the population grows and demand becomes more challenging to meet.

The university met with industry leaders including Kwik Trip and Organic Valley in developing the major. Labor experts project faster-than-average growth in the industry over the next 10 years, with median annual pay in 2023 around $70,000 for dieticians, nutritionists and food scientists.
