Human Nutrition and Food (B.S.) - Dietetics Pathway


Undergraduate Program in Nutrition and Dietetics (BS-HNF)


This variation of the Bachelor’s of Science in Human Nutrition and Food (BS-HNF) prepares students to enter the Graduate Program in Nutrition and Dietetics (MS-GPND) by fulfilling the core undergraduate components of the standard BS-HNF while also fulfilling the requirements needed to begin graduate coursework for their Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Program Introduction


Entrance into the program is made only through an application process. Each prospective student will initially enter the undergraduate Human Nutrition and Food major.
