Global opportunities▲
Global experience

In the field of nutrition, global experiences can expose students to unique health environments and expand students' knowledge of culturally specific health approaches. Students gain a deeper understanding of how food and culture intertwine and how to communicate nutritional and sanitary standards to a diverse audience. Students' resumes are enhanced with the heightened communication, cultural competency and critical thinking skills they acquired through study abroad.

The College of Health Solutions recommends these study abroad programs for students majoring in nutrition.

Career opportunities▲

Nutrition graduates are prepared for careers within companies looking to innovate, in the delivery of products and services, in research and development, in management of food service and sustainable food systems, and in nutrition and health communication and promotion. They have the capabilities to launch startups and businesses focused on individual practice, consulting, and new product and service development. There are a wide array of career opportunities available for graduates of this program.

Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.

3 year programs

These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.

Accelerated master's

These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
