Dietetics

Nutritional Sciences/Pre-Medical

Food Science and Technology

Each concentration offers a professional sequence in a specialized area, along with supporting courses in basic sciences and a broad general education. Graduates are prepared for careers in dietetics, medicine, public health, education, research, or the food industry.

The Dietetics concentration at LSU is accredited as a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
