Human Nutrition - Dietetics Emphasis (B.S.) / Nutrition and Dietetics (M.S.)

NOTE: IMPORTANT!

The Nutrition program is only currently accepting students into the Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition - Dietetics Emphasis program as part of a joint degree with the Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics. Students on previous catalogs who wish to graduate only with a B.S. in Human Nutrition - Pre-Dietetics Emphasis will have through Summer 2025 to complete their undergraduate program. Students who do not complete the program by that time will be required to change their program of study to Human Nutrition - Allied Health Emphasis or another major.
