Facilities of Supporting Disciplines

A number of facilities are routinely used by food, nutrition and dietetics students. All food and nutrition students enroll in chemistry courses taught in the new Science Building, a state-of-the-art instructional facility. Required courses also use the biology lab faculties. Upper-level dietetics students participating in our Nutrition Mission Program use diet analysis software to analyze the diets of Illinois State students and offer suggestions on improved food habits and provide related health information. The Nutrition Mission Office is located in the Student Services Building. The required management class is taught in the College of Business Building, the newest building on campus. Food and nutrition majors enrolled in the required Quantity Foods course work in the Campus Dining Services facilities.
