Department of Nutrition and Dietetics

The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics offers degree programs that lead to professional careers. Graduates are prepared to be registration eligible, and upon passing boards, to be employed as clinical dietitians in hospitals and as directors of health-care and school food service facilities. Some own private practices, offering consulting services to long-term care facilities, sports teams, etc. The classroom-based Coordinated Programs (B.S. and M.S.) that lead to RD/RDN (registered dietitian/registered dietitian nutritionist) eligibility are accredited by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. As a coordinated program, both didactic course work and 1200 hours of supervised practice are included in the curriculum.  In addition to the ACEND-accredited Coordinated Programs, two master’s-level degrees (online and classroom based) are offered for dietitians with bachelor's degrees who want to further their education.
