Program description
The nutrition major explores how nutrients and the foods from which they are derived aid the body in health, growth, and development. With major national and international concerns for how food and nutrition affect health and disease, registered dietitians and nutritionists have many career opportunities. Students choose one of three options: 1) nutrition studies, 2) the Didactic Program in Dietetics, or 3) nutritional science.
Students expecting to apply to an internship or graduate school should maintain a GPA of at least 3.00. A cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 is highly recommended.
