Pursue an exciting career in Dietetics!

The Dietetics concentration prepares students to apply their knowledge of nutrition to promote healthy eating patterns in the population. Registered Dietitians (RDs) work in many areas including clinical and community nutrition, nutrition counseling, nutrition education and research, wellness, government, public health, food service management and others. The dynamic field of Dietetics is ever growing and dietitians continue to find new and different ways to communicate nutrition information to the public. This option also prepares students for medical and dental school, as well as graduate study in a variety of fields.

Our accomplished and diverse faculty contribute years of expertise to the Dietetics program. We are quite proud of our program and hope you will find that Dietetics is the career for you.

Approximately 120 students are enrolled in the Dietetics concentration.
