Minor in Nutrition

The Minor in Nutrition is for students with the time and inclination to learn more about dietetics and nutrition, but are not interested in obtaining an internship to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) or in applying to pre-professional programs. However, this track does not lead to a Verification Statement, which is the case with the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD).
