Course Announcement - NTR 365 World Food Systems 1450-2050
NTR 365 World Food Systems 1450-2050:
This is a
restricted course that will be taught in fall 2017 by Dr. Raj Patel. There is a
very limited number of seats available for undergraduate Nutrition students.
Please see instructions below for requesting to take the course:
- Carefully read a previous semester's course syllabus attached here (PDF). This is an exremely rigourous course which requires signficant participation and writing.
- Review the information listed below about how the course can count towards the Nutrition degrees.
- Email Dr. Raj Patel directly at rajpatel@utexas.edu to let him know you are interested in taking the course.
- Dr. Patel will then let the Human Ecology Advising Center know who is approved to register.
How does this count towards your Nutrition degree?
B.S. Nutrition Degrees:
- While this is a NTR 365 course number, this specific topic of NTR 365 CANNOT be used to fulfill the NTR 365 degree requirement for any B.S. Nutrition degree option.
Ex. When NTR 365 is listed as a specific requirement or as an option (like "choose 3 hrs from NTR 365, 370 or 371" for B.S. Nutritional Sciences), the NTR 365 World Food Systems will NOT be allowed to count there.
- It CAN count as an upper-division NTR elective towards the 24 total hours of upper-division NTR hours ("NTR UD") for the B.S. Nutritional Sciences and B.S. Nutrition & Public Health degrees
Ex. If you are lacking upper-division NTR hours to reach 24 total hours of upper-division NTR, this course can be used for that.
- It CAN count as a general elective for all degree options.
B.S.A. Nutrition Degree:
- It CAN count as 3 hours of upper-division Nutrition ("NTR UD") towards the required additional nutrition hours, or as a general elective.
Please contact your academic advisor if you have questions on how this can fit into your degree plan.
