Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Nutrition, Dietetics Track] From Indiana University of Pennsylvania

The dietetics track educates young professionals how to translate food and nutrition science information for diverse members of society. The undergraduate dietetic curriculum results in a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and prepares you for a variety of career opportunities in healthcare, food service administration, the food industry, public health, community education, culinary dietetics, and food and nutrition research.

Among the classes you?ll take are topics such as nutrition and disease, careers in food and nutrition, experimental foods, food consumption patterns, nutrition counseling, hospitality purchasing, and principles of management. The completion of the dietetic program prepares students to apply for an ACEND-accredited supervised practice program en route to becoming a registered dietitian.

Over the past 30 years, IUP?s Food and Nutrition Department has educated more than 1,000 dietitians and nutritionists.

You can gain valuable experience through programs such as Sports Nutrition Services, a nutrition service for coaches and athletes, which is staffed by undergraduate and graduate students from the Department of Food and Nutrition.
