Dietitians and nutritionists are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage disease. They advise people on what to eat in order to lead a healthy lifestyle or achieve a specific health-related goal.
The Pre-Dietetics Program is designed to pair with a bachelor's degree and prepare students for masters-level study leading to qualification as a registered dietitian. Students should check with the graduate dietetics programs that they intend to apply to and consult with their advisor to discuss requirements.

”Starting college, I wasn’t sure of the path I wanted to take. After making a few changes to my major, I ended up in Intro to Nutrition which made me become both interested and passionate about nutrition. I knew right away that I wanted to pursue a minor in nutrition. With each additional class, I became more confident in that decision and also decided to head down the pre-dietetics path. This program has provided unique learning experiences, valuable relationships with both peers and mentors, and is preparing me to enter into the Medical Nutrition master’s program. I am grateful for the opportunities and connections I have gained through this program and for the guidance and support I have received from both my advisor and professors. I am also excited for the day I can take my education and experiences and apply them into my career and hopefully make a positive impact on society.”
