Nutrition is a huge part of that and essential for good health and well-being (beyond the numbers on a scale). With this pre-professional program, you’ll prepare to become a registered dietitian, nutritionist or health educator who is able to set others up for success in the areas of lifestyle modifications, food and nutrition.

Interested in becoming a registered dietitian? As a Human Nutrition and Foods student, you can opt into the accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics. The program provides an in-depth educational experience with practical applications and a strong community nutrition component. It also prepares you for entry into supervised practice programs in dietetics which lead to eligibility for the Commission on Dietetic Registration credentialing exam.
