 Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics
   

A Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition and dietetics is primarily an on-campus, face-to-face curriculum which can provide many opportunities for students throughout their undergraduate Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) as well as in their careers. Registered dietitians (RD) and nutritionists are professionals who translate the science of nutrition into education and life style practices that can enhance growth, health and disease prevention. The Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association. CADE is responsible for accrediting programs that prepare students for careers as registered dietitians (RD) and is recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Completion of the DPD program does not guarantee admission into a supervised practice or dietetic internship which is required to become a registered dietitian (RD).
