The Dietetics and Nutrition majors offer a wide range of studies applicable to community health, intervention for health conditions, disease prevention, and wellness programs, as well as business settings dealing with food service, marketing, safety, and product development.

These majors are useful for students interested in health maintenance and rehabilitation through the science of nutrition. Physiological, biochemical and behavioral sciences provide the foundation for study. Because of the strong science base, these majors are supportive of advanced degrees in several health fields. The Dietetics major is accredited to provide a means for students to become Registered Dietitian Nutritionists while the Nutrition major provides flexibility to be tailored to specific interests and applications that fit student goals.
