DIETETICS
The Dietetics Program major in dietetics is an integration of the humanities and arts, social sciences, and the physical and life sciences. The study of food and nutrition includes the science of food as well as the role of nutrients in the body to promote and maintain health. The dietetics curriculum, accredited by the American Dietetic Association includes additional courses in food management and medical nutrition therapy for specific pathology.  During the last semester of their senior year, students make application to a dietetic internship program. These post-baccalaureate programs are usually 8-11 months in length and will qualify the student to sit for examination to become registered dietitians.
