The major in Sports Nutrition integrates the major aspects of a degree in Food and Nutrition into a degree in Exercise Physiology. This dual focus allows the student to gain a better understanding of how both nutrition and exercise influence human performance, health, and disease. Having Nutrition Science and Exercise Physiology housed in the same department enhances the coursework and research in this area. Sports Nutrition is a growing area of interest and a major highlight for many students who want to learn not just about clinical nutrition, but also how nutrition is applied to both health and human performance.

A Dietetics Internship option is built into the Sports Nutrition curriculum for those interested in becoming a Registered Dietitian. Visit the program's website for more information about the ACEND-accredited Dietetic Internship program at Florida State University, requirements, and how to apply.
