About Bachelor of Science - Nutrition Sciences
The undergraduate Nutrition and Dietetics program is an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The recently revised curriculum prepares students for a career as a registered dietitian. Coursework includes a strong foundation in math and science. Nutrition and dietetics courses meet all competency areas established by ACEND.
Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Science - Nutrition Sciences program, students receive a signed Verification Statement from the Program Director enabling them to enter post graduate:
- dietetic internship programs (supervised practice),
- coordinated graduate programs (includes supervised practice),
- future education graduate model programs, or
- eligibility to sit for the national registration exam.
Graduates of the Nutrition and Dietetics program are working in community health centers, fitness facilities, obesity treatment centers, Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Education Programs, nutrition centers for senior citizens, eating disorder residential treatment settings, and in acute and long term care settings. Graduates who have gone on to become registered dietitians are working as specialized clinical dietitians in the areas of food allergies, pediatrics, renal disease, care of individuals with severe burns, oncology, cardiac disease, and gastrointestinal diseases. Other areas of employment include school lunch programs, specialized nutrition catering, supermarket chains, and private practice.
The program learning outcomes will allow students to:
- Identify the social and behavioral aspects of nutrition for individuals and populations including generally healthy, diseased and sport populations.
- Demonstrate cultural competence with diverse nutritional culture and needs.
- Demonstrate professional communication, incorporating the ethical values of the discipline.
