Course Overview

Dietitians are dedicated to helping the public attain better health and longevity through the use of sound nutrition practices. Saint Louis University's nutrition and dietetics program is one of the few in the nation that allows you to become both a registered dietitian nutritionist and a certified chef. Graduates are prepared with foundation knowledge and skills to enter the field of nutrition.

Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are food and nutrition experts who are dedicated to improving lives through nutrition. RDNs use their nutrition expertise to help individuals and groups make lifestyle changes to both prevent and treat nutrition-related illnesses. Translating the science of nutrition into solutions for healthy living, RDNs are equipped with the knowledge to impact lives.

To become a registered dietitian, students must:

  • Complete a bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics
  • Complete a supervised practice program
  • Pass a national examination
  • Complete continuing professional educational requirements

The Saint Louis University Dietetics Association is the on-campus organization established by students to promote nutrition and dietetics and to provide student opportunities for leadership and service.
