Nutrition and Dietetics (Community Nutrition) BS

This program is designed to meet the needs of students who want training in health promotion, disease prevention, program development, and nutrition interventions. In addition to a strong foundation in nutrition, with background knowledge in food and food systems, this emphasis requires a minor in public health.  However, this emphasis does not allow students to enter a dietetic internship.  Students who wish to pursue the registered dietitian nutritionist credential should refer to the didactic program in dietetics or consult with the program director for additional requirements.
