To evaluate changes in students' diet quality after taking online asynchronous undergraduate nutrition courses. Undergraduate students in a World Foods nutrition course about foods from around the world (NUTR 216, n=410), in an introductory nutrition course (NUTR 100, n=171), and an introduction to public health course (PUBH 201, n=166) at a Land Grant University in the Southeast United States completed online surveys at the beginning and end of the Spring 2022 semester. The online survey assessed diet quality using the short Healthy Eating Index (sHEI). An ANOVA was conducted to determine differences in diet quality scores between and within the three groups. Across all classes, there were increases in diet quality scores from a pre-test mean of 48.5±9.8 to a post-test mean of 49.6±9.4 (p=0.002); however, only NUTR 100 (p=0.002) and NUTR 216 (p=0.002) had significant increases in diet quality from pre to post-test. A pairwise comparison of each class revealed a significant difference in NUTR 100 (p=0.043) and NUTR 216 (p=0.006) from pre to post. PUBH 201 showed no significant change from pre to post scores in diet quality. Results indicate that nutrition education courses can positively impact undergraduate students' diet quality. However, students who selected the nutrition-related courses may have been more likely to have improved dietary quality than those who selected non-nutrition-related courses, independent of the impact of the course itself. Future research is needed to elucidate the impact of course selection on changes in diet quality before requiring students to enroll in nutrition courses as a strategy to improve dietary quality.
