WHAT SHOULD WE FOCUS ON?

The answer to this question is contained in Clemson's academic plan which is comprised of the following three parts 

• emphasis areas
• curriculum
• evaluation and rewards

The primary impetus for change and the foundation for Clemson's Academic Plan is a call to focus our talents, energies, and resources on eight broad "emphasis areas" that foster collaboration and promote the integration of teaching, research, and service.  These eight emphasis areas are...

• advanced materials
• automotive and transportation technology
• biotechnology and biomedical science
• family and community living
• general education
• information and communications technology
• leadership and entrepreneurship
• sustainable environment

Each emphasis area will be "niche-based" with dynamic additions and re-directions emanating from collaborative interactions.  In response to Clemson's Academic Planning process the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition has defined three "niche-based" areas that fit within Clemson's eight emphasis areas.  One of these department focus areas is community nutrition.

Community Nutrition

This "niche-based" focus area is a part of Clemson's biotechnology/biomedical science and family/community living emphasis areas.
