I was just deferred from Cornell and I want to major in nutritional science at CALS. Although I am not giving up on Cornell, Duke is my second choice and they have such great opportunities such as Bass Connections, Duke Global Health Institute, and Duke intense Global. I want to be an integrative medicine doctor and I feel that a major in nutrition would be beneficial, but Duke doesn’t have anything relating to a nutrition major? I couldn’t find anything. Then I started to look for a major that would discuss relationships between plants and humans, such as the medicinal benefits and the overall effects of plants on humans. Is there any course(s) anyone can recommend? I’m all ears, thanks!!
I’m not involved in the science part at Duke, but my best guess would be Biology or EvAnth. DIG also no longer runs.
A regular list of scheduled classes is here: https://registrar.duke.edu/courses-classrooms/schedule-classes
I’m interested if anyone else has information on nutrition/integrative medicine at Duke as well. I’m going to be pre-med and want to study nutrigenomics/epigenetics. I applied Berkeley and some other more holistically minded schools but I really love Duke and am kinda hoping there’s more to their nutrition than what I’ve found online…

This is more policy-oriented. But just want to chime in and say that Duke really has lots of nutrition related opportunities. Kelly Brownell is the Dean of the Sanford School and is a huge figure in food policy. The Evanth Department has a few nutrition related courses, along with Biology and Public Policy. Program II (create your own major) might be a possibility if you want to take the dive.
