Elmira College continues to innovate its academic programming, adding two interdisciplinary minors in Nutrition and Animal Science. These minors will prepare students for growing career fields and strengthen pathways to graduate study.
“Minors at Elmira College offer students the opportunity to customize and enhance their studies,” shared Dr. Patricia Ireland, Provost. “Students can easily add minors that complement their major, gaining expertise that can set them apart in the workforce.”
Whether helping athletes maximize performance, supporting patients' recovery, or shaping public health initiatives, students pursuing the new Nutrition minor will explore how food influences health and well-being. The minor expands career opportunities in a field the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects will experience steady growth over the next decade.
As a minor, it complements healthcare-related programs like Nursing, Biology, Biochemistry, and Public Health. It also pairs well with students studying Human Services or Social Work. And, as interest in nutrition and wellness continues to grow, students studying Business Administration can add the minor to gain knowledge in the topic, making them more marketable to employers in the health and wellness or food science companies.
The minor also provides a strong foundation for students planning to pursue graduate study and become registered dietitians.
“This is an exciting minor that provides students with an opportunity to take undergraduate courses specifically connecting food and health, preparing them for specialized postgraduate programs," explained Dr. Veronica Moorman, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Mathematics and Natural Sciences Chair.
The Animal Science minor was developed to help students interested in applying to Veterinary schools and related graduate programs, which are highly competitive. By taking this minor, students demonstrate that they are seriously pursuing a career related to animal science, conservation, and welfare. They can further prepare themselves for graduate school by pairing this minor with EC’s Pre-Veterinary Science program.
Students will gain a strong background in science while learning the basics of animal biology, diversity, physiology, behavior, and health. The program pairs well with any of EC’s natural science majors, including Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Environmental Science.
While veterinary programs at the graduate level are very competitive, the profession is looking for more practitioners. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of veterinary technicians, veterinarians, and animal caretakers is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations between 2024 and 2034.
"The Animal Science Minor prepares students for careers or advanced study in animal health, conservation, or welfare,” shared Dr. Sarah Hazelton, Assistant Professor of Biology. “The curriculum combines courses that are highly recommended by veterinary schools and graduate programs, along with electives that allow students to explore areas of professional interest."
