The University of Charleston announced the launch of a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition program starting Fall 2025. With an increase in chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, the university said there is a demand for qualified nutrition professionals. The new program will be designed for students interested in careers as nutritionists, health coaches, chefs, or health educators, according to the UC website. The University of Charleston has submitted its application for the Bachelor of Science in Nutrition program to the Higher Learning Commission and is pending approval.
