Hey all!🙂
I know I know, I can get this question answered in a week when school starts by my advisor but I'm impatient 😀

I've been looking at Purdue and Rutgers to take the class at in the summer or next fall. I don't live in those states and would really like to avoid the out of state tuition. I found a class at my school which sounds similar but I'm not sure if it really is. The description does sound like the ones for Animal Nutrition classes. Can anyone tell me if it sounds like something you guys have taken or if I'm better off taking the online class from Rutgers or Purdue?

GCH 295 Nutrition for Health Professionals (3:3:0) Prerequisite: one semester of science or permission of instructor. Introduces nutrition science, emphasizing macro- and micronutrients in body, digestion, energy metabolism, weight loss, fitness and nutrition, prevention of chronic diseases, nutrition therapy, and nutritional assessment. Problem-solving and critical-thinking methodologies used in group presentations that address nutrition-related case studies. In-class activities, outside readings, and class discussion reinforce concepts. Students use computer-based diet analysis to evaluate personal dietary intakes.

Well if your school has a class, then I would suggest trying that first. However if you want to take nutrition elsewhere if that doesn't pan out, I know many people have taken the online course with Purdue and Oklahoma State has one too. They are kinda expensive, but possibly not as much as enrolling out of state for a quarter, and Purdue's is self paced. The only thing I would wonder about the one offered where you are is that it seems like a general nutrition course, not really an animal nutrition class.

Some schools will accept a human nutrition equivalent instead. I know Western U did. You can check on VMCAS college specific requirements or the schools websites to verify though. Also some schools like University of Florida will allow you to take their animal nutrition the summer before entering vet school if you are accepted. Good luck!
