Growing interest in health has spawned new opportunities for nutrition graduates in health clubs, corporations, and independent consulting. A practicum during the course of your study here can assist you in exploring the many opportunities you may have in the nutrition field. Our internship coordinator in the Career Development Center will work with you to find the location most suited to your needs and goals. You may begin taking your upper level nutrition classes while completing your degree with us. Students interested in continuing to RSC will be advised to take particular courses in their math, humanities, and electives categories.
Credit hours are in parentheses.
Sciences course descriptions can be found on our courses page . You will take the necessary courses to prepare you to move into a four or five- year physical therapy, occupational therapy or athletic training degree program. Courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics give you the option to choose physical or occupational therapy, physician's assistant or recreational therapist when transferring. An internship is strongly recommended during your second year of study. Although you will not act as a therapist at that point, you will gain the necessary observation hours needed when continuing on to the 4 year college you choose.
