hello everyone!!

I just had a question about classifying some of the classes I took.. ( at UC
Berkeley.)
I majored in Nutritional Sciences: Physiology & Metabolism, and many upper division "nutritional sciences" courses I took were focused on physiology and metabolism. Considering the content of these courses, I believe that these courses should be classified as biology, but I just wanted to make sure because in the instructions, "nutrition" was classified as other science. (While "physiology" was classified as biology)

Some of the courses that I'm uncertain of are:

NUSCTX 11: Intro to Toxicology
NUSCTX 103: Nutrient Function and Metabolism
NUSCTX 150: Mechanisms of Metabolic Regulation
NUSCTX 160: HUMAN NUTRITION
NUSCTX 170: EXPER NUTRITION LAB

These classes were all under nutritional sciences and toxicology department, but most of them were about metabolism and physiology..

Also, I did honors research in department of nutritional sciences and
toxicology. What would this course be classified as? My research was about estrogen and I did mostly PCR/transfection assays (NUSCTX H196: Honors Research. This course was letter grade based.)


I would really appreciate it if you could help me clarify these.... 🙁

these all seem like "other sciences" according to this:
