Food and Nutrition Concentration (1211)
|
|
The Food and Nutrition concentration (1211) is designed to provide a broad education in the food and nutrition sciences, with a supporting background in the physical and biological sciences. Students choosing the Food and Nutrition concentration may or may not aspire to become Registered Dietitians credentialed through the Commission on Dietetic Registration. For those students wishing to pursue a career in dietetics and write the Registration Examination for Dietitians, the Food and Nutrition concentration is the preliminary step in that process (see Dietetics concentration for admission criteria to the DPD Program). For those students who do not aspire to become Registered Dietitians, the Food and Nutrition concentration prepares graduates for careers in food science, food technology, child nutrition services (formerly school food services), college and university food management, commercial enterprises, institutional food management, and supervisory functions in various congregate feeding settings.
Students who do not apply or are not accepted to the Dietetics concentration and remain in the Food and Nutrition concentration must complete 15 hours of upper-division restricted electives. This allows students the opportunity to align their academic program with their career goals.
