Department of Nutrition and Dietetics
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics offers degree programs that lead to professional careers in those areas. Graduates are prepared to be registration-eligible and, upon passing board exams, become employed as clinical dietitians in hospitals as well as directors of health-care and school food-service facilities. Some graduates establish private practices, offering consulting services to long-term care facilities, sports teams, and other organizations. The classroom-based coordinated programs leading 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 (ACEND). As a coordinated program, both didactic coursework and 1,000 hours of supervised practice are included in the curriculum. In addition to the ACEND-accredited coordinated programs, a master’s-level program is offered for dietitians with a bachelor's degree who want to further their education.
