The Department

The department offers the major in Nutrition at the undergraduate level and additional courses for non-majors. It also supervises federally funded statewide nutrition education programs that offer the possibility of work experience for advanced undergraduates. Variable credit seminars, special problems, senior honors, research experience, and field study courses are offered each semester, many by individual arrangement, others for senior majors only. The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) is accredited by the American Dietetic Association’s Commission on Accreditation for Dietetic Education.
