Do you have to take a lot of math classes when you're majoring in nutrition?!
Answers:
>I majored in Food Science and Technology and one of my minors was in human and animal nutrition. You don't have to have any more understanding than basic arithmetic...maybe a first year algebra course would help when meal planning and forcasting, but other than that, if you can add, subtract, multiply and divide and use some common sense that is about all you need for human nutrition calculations. Now if you get into food manufacturing or production then you need advanced math, like calculus...but for a home economics degree, you don't really need the advanced math at all. I would contact your local land grant agricultural college and ask them for the degree curricula and see what they are requiring, that is the best thing to do . Who knows, maybe they will require you to take advanced math, but the fact is, a practicing dietician and nutrtionist never uses anything beyond maybe a basic course or two in statistics.
I don't think so, but you'll probably have to survive general chemistry classes - not a favorite of people who don't like math.
No you don't, most of the time it is simple calculations and being able to follow conversion tables.
