Nutrition and dietetics – ever changing and ever challenging! Now is the time to become involved in the profession that helps people make changes in their lives to promote improved health through nutrition. It’s all about empowering individuals and creating nutritional balance to best meet their needs. From children’s nutritional problems to specialized diets or tube feedings in a hospital, nutrition and dietetics are recognized as essential to the health care industry. Join a profession that has a positive impact on society and provides a gratifying work experience. Become a nutrition expert!

You can pursue a career in nutrition and dietetics with a master’s degree in clinical nutrition with a dietetic internship program. These programs are designed for the student who possesses a BS degree in nutrition or dietetics, and the internship offers a route to becoming a registered dietitian (RD). If you are already a nutrition professional and a RD, you may pursue the MS degree without the internship program in preparation for advanced levels of practice. After completion of the internship program you can specialize in areas such as pediatrics, obesity/weight management, cancer treatment, renal disease, nutrition support, cardiac care, long-term care, internal medicine, sports nutrition or community health to name a few. Careers abound in nutrition education, clinical dietetics, and management positions in clinical, community, or food service areas, as well as nutritional product sales. Put aside your notions of hairnets and restricted diets and step into the high tech age of nutritional care in communities, in health care, in sports and in food service.
