Course Overview

Public interest in nutrition for maintaining good health throughout life has never been stronger. Completing a degree in dietetics and nutrition is your first step to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN; also known as an RD). RDNs work with people of all ages, cultures, and economic means. They have credentialed health professionals who apply nutritional science to individuals, families, communities, and beyond to help their clients address nutritional needs.

People are increasingly interested in the nutritional requirements for obtaining good health and long life. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) work with people of all ages, cultures, and economic means. They learn to understand people as individuals, thereby helping their clients solve their nutritional needs. RDNs are health professionals who apply the art and science of food and nutrition.

The major leads to a BS degree that meets the educational requirements of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The pre-professional phase (years 1 and 2) involves core courses in science, food science, basic nutrition, mathematics, liberal arts, and business. The professional phase (years 3 and 4) includes practicum experiences in various upper-division courses. Three cooperative work experiences, including one position in health care food and nutrition services, are a requirement of the major. Students also have the opportunity to acquire a certificate or minor in a variety of content areas, including exercise science. To become credentialed as an RDN students also need to complete an accredited supervised practice after graduation and pass the National Registration Exam for Dietitian Nutritionists.
