Undergraduate Student Services | Division of Nutritional Sciences

The Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS) is a “Division” instead of a department because it is part of two colleges: the College of Human Ecology (CHE) and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS).

Contact us at dnsstudentservices@cornell.edu for general questions about our Undergraduate Program. Current Cornell students may make an appointment with DNS Student Services.
