Bachelor of Science - Nutrition and Food Science - Dietetics and Nutrition Management

The concentration in dietetics and nutrition management in the Nutrition Science major is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to work in the health industry as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). The program emphasizes hands-on and real-world learning experiences through practicums and laboratories. Areas of focus include clinical dietetics, counseling, food service, and sports nutrition.

It is important to understand that to become a registered dietitian nutritionist, one must complete an 8-12 month internship AFTER completion of the degree at CSU. Completing this concentration alone and earning the B.S. degree is not sufficient to become a dietitian. As of 2024, one must have a master's degree to become a registered dietitian nutritionist.
