BA/BS in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services

This major is a Didactic Program in Dietetics with formal accreditation. Students take wide-ranging coursework in management, social science, and natural science, plus specialized subjects on food and nutrition, and they must complete a professional practice experience as undergraduates. Graduates receive a bachelor's in the Food, Nutrition and Dietetics field, either arts or science, along with a verification statement showing they finished the program. That statement is frequently required to enter a supervised practice program with accreditation, as well as for other professional applications. Completing this degree is the first stage on the way to becoming a registered dietitian nutritionist. That credential also requires supervised practice and, beginning in 2024, a graduate degree before a candidate can take the credentialing examination. The program page lists faculty, career outcomes, and sample schedules. Tours run on campus or by video, and applications received before the priority date get a more favorable look for entry and for scholarship awards.
