Bachelor's to Master's in Dietetics and Nutrition
You’re passionate about health and interested in how the food we eat can prevent and treat illness and disease. You want to help people live better, healthier lives by understanding how nutrients interact with the human body. Nutrition may be the major for you.
One of Utica University’s newest majors, Nutrition is an interdisciplinary science that requires an understanding of food production, consumption, and utilization. Students will experience relevant and exciting challenges in their pursuit of success and rewarding careers, including opportunities to conduct research or pursue an internship in the field of nutrition. Our distinctive, active learning approach promotes scholarship and social awareness.
Utica University offers two degree tracks for those interested in studying nutrition science. The first is a 4 year BS in Dietetics and Nutrition. This is a non-accredited program that will provide students a base education in nutrition science and can serve as a stepping stone for advanced degrees in Nutrition, Public Health, Nursing, Fitness, or other health professions. This program also would allow the graduate to work in the fields of fitness or public health, providing nutrition education.
Utica also offers a B.S./M.S. in Dietetics and Nutrition, a 5-year coordinated program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). Students in the program will spend their first two years focused on completing the university’s general education requirements as well as science-based prerequisite courses. They will then move into the Dietetics and Nutrition – specific coursework, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, which will culminate with completion of a Master’s Research Project. Required supervised practice hours are met within specific Dietetics and Nutrition courses, and in one semester of full-time internship placements in the greater Utica area. Those who successfully complete both the academic and practical components of the program will be eligible to take the national certification exam to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
