Welcome to Nutrition & Dietetics
This is an exciting time to study nutrition! We learn more every day about the role of food and nutrition in overall health and disease prevention. As a nutrition professional you could work in a variety of settings including public health, clinical care, or management.
The Nutrition and Dietetics Program offers a bachelor of science (BS) in nutrition and dietetics, a post-graduate dietetic internship, and a master of science in nutrition. Most jobs in the profession require completion of the 10-month dietetic internship after the BS degree. Seek advisement early in your studies to ensure you are familiar with the best sequence of courses. Contact any faculty member or the staff in the College of Education Advisement Center in Hokona Hall.
