One of our goals is for our students to not only gain the education they need to be a successful professional, but also the practical experiences that give them an edge in the professional world. The student experience encompasses not only your time in the classroom, but also your time in the field. The listings below are only a few of the things students may experience while enrolled in programs within the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. Please contact us if you have specific questions concerning the program(s) that are of interest to you. |

Study Abroad
One of our goals over the past years is to provide student with opportunities to study discipline specific elements of different cultures through our study abroad program. Current and past students have gone to Switzerland, Italy, as well as other European countries. Students typically spend two-three weeks traveling to different locations and learn about issues related to health and nutrition. The department is expanding its study abroad offerings in 2009-2010 to include the Commonwealth of Dominica (small island in the West Indies).

Student Organizations
We encourage our students to join and participate in the Student Dietetic Association (SDA). The SDA provides students an avenue for networking with other students and nutrition professionals, participating in campus activities, outreach activities, and assist students with certain academic issues. These academic issues may include time management, academic tutoring, preparation for the GRE (Graduate Record Exam), and preparing the dietetic internship application. If you would like more information about the SDA please click here. |

Internships
Although professional internships are not required for either our undergraduate or graduate programs they are highly recommended. Due to the limited number of available internships it is very competitive when trying to obtain one. Individuals work with their faculty advisor in preparing to obtain available internships. We also offer the dietetics internship for students who already have a bachelor’s degree in nutrition. This internship prepares them to sit for the dietician license exam. |
