The Nutrition & Food Science program has three (3) areas of specialization: Nutrition Science, Nutrition Education & Health Promotion, and Food Science. The Nutrition Science specialization focuses on laboratory research in nutrition while the Nutrition Education & Health Promotion emphasizes nutrition counseling and community outreach. The Food Science program also has a strong research element that explores the nature of foods, food safety, and food processing. The Dietetic Internship (+DI) is for those who are interested in working in a clinical setting and have completed the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). The +DI option is only available to our graduate students and is completed in conjunction with one of our eligible degree programs.
