在这里学什么？

Human nutrition is an integrated discipline focused on the role of diet in the prevention and treatment of disease. The human nutrition program is committed to the discovery of new information about the relationships between diet, physical activity, health and disease, and the application of such knowledge to individuals, communities and entire populations.

Three specializations

Dietetics prepares students to translate the scientific principles of food and nutrition into healthy eating practices for various populations. This Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) is accredited by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) and meets the knowledge requirements specified by the AND for students interested in becoming registered dietitians (RD). Following the bachelor’s degree students complete a supervised practice program (dietetic internship) and then sit for the exam to become an RD.

Nutrition sciences provides a strong science foundation with course work in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and molecular genetics. Students gain professional experience through a supervised internship with an approved professional. Students are encouraged to participate in research projects with faculty and/or engage in other professional training activities. This specialization prepares students for admission to medical, dental, optometry and pharmacy schools, as well as graduate programs in nutrition, biomedical sciences and public health.

Nutrition in industry prepares students for careers in the development, marketing, advertisement and sales of food and health products. In addition to the core nutrition courses, students will complete a general business minor through the Fisher College of Business. Graduates may be employed by pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies or nutrition product development teams.

Possible careers

Diverse career options in the nutrition field are available for students in all three program specializations.

Dietetics graduates are prepared for careers in clinical dietetics, community nutrition, nutrition counseling and therapy, sports nutrition, and food service management. Typical work settings for dietetics graduates include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, food service, food and nutrition-related businesses, and fitness/wellness centers.

Graduates of the nutrition sciences specialization are prepared to enter professional programs or a career in research. Prerequisites for admission to medical school or dental school are included in this specialization’s requirements, so students are well prepared for graduate/professional school admissions upon completion of the program.

Graduates of the nutrition in industry specialization are competitive for positions in customer relations, consumer protection and education, government policy/regulation/lobbying, public relations for industry and commodity food groups, nutrition product development, nutrition marketing, and pharmaceutical, food and equipment sales.
