About Bachelor of Science - Nutritional Sciences - Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD)

Program Description

Dietetics is a profession which focuses on the food and nutrition intake of individuals and its relationship to health. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) are trained in the sciences and can translate scientific findings and help people live healthy lives. Dietetic students receive a broad education in nutrition, food, management, physical, biological, and social sciences. Dietitians work in a variety of settings including hospitals, extended care facilities, community agencies, food industry, corporate agencies, schools, and private practice.

The Didactic Program in Dietetics provides graduates with a broad general education framework as well as specialized course work in the field of dietetics. The student will graduate with a science background giving them the tools to logically think through situations using the principles upon which the scientific method is based. Students following the didactic plan of study will be prepared to apply for supervised practice leading to eligibility for the CDR credentialing exam to become an RDN. This scientific preparation will enable students to succeed in a variety of professional situations. 

NUSC majors in the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) track can declare DPD concentration and follow a curriculum that meets the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) academic requirements.
