The Nutrition Foods concentration provides students with a four-year program that culminates in a Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. The Nutrition and Dietetics option provides students with the foundation skills and knowledge necessary to provide general nutrition education to individuals as well as to community groups. The undergraduate program in dietetics is developmentally accredited as a didactic program in dietetics (DPD) by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of The American Dietetic Association (ADA).
Students who successfully complete the DPD program will receive a CADE Verification of Completion Statement and are then eligible to apply for a supervised practice program (dietetic internship). Successful completion of an accredited dietetic internship will allow students to complete the national Registration Examination to become a registered dietitian. Many exciting career opportunities await registered dietitians (RD). Students who choose not to apply for a dietetic internship also have several career options in education, sales, or public health.
