The B.S. degree program in nutrition includes coursework in chemistry, biology, meal management, nutrition in health, physiology, and biochemistry. Students also study nutrition in the life span, diet in disease, community nutrition, nutrition education and counseling, and advanced nutrition. Opportunities for fieldwork provide students with hands-on experience.
    The nutrition program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (120 S. Riverside Plaza, Chicago IL 60606; 312-899-0040, ext. 5400) to become a registered dietitian, but must be followed by an internship before eligibility for the registration examination is granted. To obtain an internship, a student must usually have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and related work experience.
