1 NUTRITION & DIETETICS, Dietetics Option Effective Fall 2010 College of the Environment & Life Sciences (CELS) Department: UC Advisor: Option: Credits: Nutrition and Food Sciences (NFS), , Cathy English PhD, RD, , Dietetics 120 credits The Major: Dietetics is the application of knowledge about food and nutrition to help people achieve and maintain health throughout the life span. An important component of health care, dietetics integrates knowledge of food, nutrition, management, basic sciences, and social sciences to improve the dietary intake and health of individuals and communities. The Dietetics Option is accredited by the American Dietetic Association and is required of all students planning to become Registered Dietitians. The option provides students with a background in clinical, community, and administrative dietetics. Following graduation, students qualify for the professional title of Registered Dietitian by completing an accredited dietetic internship program and passing a national exam. Admission to dietetic internship programs is competitive. Students are encouraged to gain paid or volunteer experience in a healthcare facility, community nutrition program, or foodservice institution. Supervised field experiences are also available for juniors and seniors. Career Options: Dietitians are health professionals who practice in a variety of settings including hospitals, healthcare facilities, wellness programs, schools, businesses, and government and community agencies. Others are in private practice. Transfer out of UC: Students will be admitted to the Nutrition and Dietetics degree program in CELS from UC after completing a minimum of 30 credits, including CHM 103/105, CHM 124/126, BIO 121, NFS 210, NFS 276, NFS 394 or NFS 375, WRT 104, COM 100, and STA 220. Students must have earned a 3.0 average in these classes with no less than a C in any one class to be admitted to the Dietetics Option. Admission to the Nutrition and Dietetics program is limited to incoming freshmen only; all other students are admitted on a space available basis. Please contact the Department for more information. The following is an example of the typical course schedule for the first 4 semesters for a student majoring in Nutrition & Dietetics. These are recommended course selections for NFS majors in University College; there will be variation based on course availability and schedule restraints. Some classes are not offered every semester. It is important to plan ahead and consult with your advisor to allow yourself time to enroll in the classes you wish to take.

7 NUTRITION & DIETETICS, Nutrition Option Effective Fall 2010 College of the Environment & Life Sciences (CELS) Department: UC Advisor: Option: Credits: Nutrition and Food Sciences (NFS), , Cathy English PhD, RD, , Nutrition 120 credits The Major: Nutritionists study the role of nutrients, the body s requirements for nutrients throughout life, and the effects of inadequate intakes on health and well-being. Nutritionists also study the social, economic, cultural, and psychological implications of food and eating. The Nutrition Option is designed for students who want to study nutrition but do not plan to become Registered Dietitians. There are three tracks available which provide focused training in specific areas of nutrition: Nutrition Science designed for students who want to study the science of nutrition and use this background for advanced study in the field or admission to professional health programs. Health Promotion designed for students who want to work with the public in preventative health education programs. Foods designed for students who want to work in the foodservice management, food safety, or food sustainability. Transfer out of UC: Students will be admitted to the Nutrition and Dietetics degree program in CELS from UC after completing a minimum of 30 credits, including CHM 103/105, CHM 124/126, BIO 121, NFS 210, NFS 276, NFS 394, WRT 104, COM 100, and STA 220.
