College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University (Nutrition Department)

The need for nutrition experts, dietitians and nutrition scientists is greater than ever before. Nutrition plays a vital role in:

* the maintenance of health
* prevention and treatment of disease
* public health policy development
* athletic performance

Food and nutrition knowledge and expertise have an important role in:

* foodservice management
* food production
* product development
* consumer health education

Rapid advances in medical research, health care reform, and consumer demand have made this discipline increasingly complex. The CSB/SJU Nutrition Department offers a major and a minor in Nutrition. Within the major, there are three areas of concentration.

* Concentration in Dietetics. The dietetics concentration is offered as a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of The American Dietetic Association. Completion of the DPD is the first step to earning the credential of Registered Dietitian, and qualifies students to apply for an accredited dietetic internship. Students interested in pursuing the credential of Registered Dietitian (RD) should refer to the important information found by following the links to the left; Curriculum, Dietetics.

* Concentration in Nutrition Science. The Nutrition Science concentration provides excellent preparation for individuals pursuing a medical or health related career, or graduate programs in exercise physiology, food science or nutrition. This major builds on the basic sciences and provides opportunities to explore nutrition in depth through research. Students gain experience in designing and conducting research, laboratory methods, collecting data, writing proposals and presenting results. These skills are imperative for students advancing to graduate programs or entering professions where staying on the cutting edge of practice requires the continual critical evaluation of published research.

* Concentration in Food Studies. This concentration is designed for students interested in a career in food service management, culinary arts, or the food industry. A basic knowledge of nutrition and food science is complimented by coursework in economics, management, accounting and art.
