The Dietetics Program is offered through the Health Sciences Department. This program prepares the student for a wide variety of dietetic careers including clinical dietetics, administrative dietetics, community dietetics, education and research. Following the completion of the Dietetic Program, students should plan to meet the experience requirements for registered dietitian status by completing a dietetic internship or an approved preplanned program in dietetics. The Dietetic Program meets the academic requirements of the American Dietetics Association. Keep in mind, however, that some fields will require graduate study or further schooling of some kind.
Many more occupations exist and are worth investigating.
The internet is a fantastic source of information. A broad range of resources on career fields, internships, and job search information is also available in the Academic Advising and Career Development Resource Center located in 303 Wilson Hall . Everyday new information is uncovered concerning food and how it effects the body. People who are fascinated with how the human body works, who can relate this information to the body's need for food, who like to work with food and who like to help people, will find dietetics a very satisfying career. If you like to be involved with new happenings and perhaps even help new things happen, then the Dietetics Program may be for you.
