NFS alums work as community nutritionists, research and development scientists at major food manufacturers, educators and pharmaceutical sales representatives.
Our curriculum`s strong science core is the perfect prep for graduate work at research institutes, medical and dental schools.
If your goal is to work as a nutritionist in a clinical setting, to counsel individuals on how to improve their diet, or to consult for educational institutions and corporations, choose our Dietetics major. A faculty member guides you through the dietetic internship application and registration for the exam that are required to become a Registered Dietitian.
