Bachelor of Science–Nutrition |
The Department of Food and Nutrition offers a degree program in nutrition with two tracks, dietetics and general nutrition. Within the degree program, students select a natural science option determined by their academic preparation and career goals. This curriculum prepares students as professionals for a diversity of career opportunities in food service, the food industry, food and nutrition research, and health care.
In addition, the department provides Liberal Studies courses which are available to all university students. These include FDNT 143, an option in the university’s Liberal Studies requirements for Health and Wellness; FDNT 145, a Liberal Studies elective; and three LBST 499 synthesis courses (Food and Culture, The Battle for Perfection, and Screen Cuisine).
Students who complete the Dietetics Track (Didactic Program in
Dietetics) meet the academic requirements as accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association. This
track will prepare an individual to serve as a translator of food and nutrition
science information for members of the larger community with respect to
healthful food preparation, healthy eating behaviors, medical nutrition therapy,
management of nutrition delivery and food service systems, and advocacy for the
profession of dietetics. The individual who completes this program will exhibit
an in-depth knowledge of food, nutrition, behavioral sciences, and management
theory and be able to apply this knowledge to solve problems.
The Nutrition Track allows students to plan a curriculum based upon career goals other than becoming a registered dietitian. Career opportunities for these students include public health, food service administration, culinary arts, journalism, communications, business, and gerontology.
Students who wish to pursue a career in food and nutrition research should select the Natural Science Option II plus the nutrition track to acquire a foundation for theoretical and applied food science and nutrition. This option meets the needs of students who wish to enter careers in food/nutrition which require a graduate education.
This minor sequence is recommended for students majoring in the related health disciplines such as child development, family and consumer sciences education, nursing and allied health, food service management, and health and physical education. Students electing a minor in nutrition must complete 15 credits of coursework from the courses listed. The completion of this minor neither meets the requirements for practice as a credentialed nutritionist nor satisfies the academic requirements of the Commission on Registration for the American Dietetic Association as a registered dietitian. For additional information, contact the Food and Nutrition Department.
