Picture Yourself In Our Major

Our Bachelor of Science in Nutrition prepares graduates to work as nutrition educators and counselors to serve in hospitals, workplaces, community and school-based wellness and fitness programs. This is a stand-alone degree program. However, students can apply for admission into a dietetics concentration in their second year to prepare them to pursue the Master of Science in Nutrition & Dietetics to become Registered Dietitians.
