Dietetics is one of four undergraduate majors in the Department of Health, Nutrition and Food Sciences. The program offers students a unique introduction to sports and clinical nutrition.
The specialized access program allows a unique dietetic education. After admission to the Univeristy, students must apply and be accepted to the major.
Courses are offered in person on the main campus in Tallahassee. Students enjoy smaller, more intimate classes and form strong connections with classmates. Core dietetics courses have approximately 35 students and consist of group projects, presentations, case studies and practicum experiences. The curriculum at FSU also requires a sports nutrition course. Students may enroll in electives such as exercise physiology or exercise testing and prescription.
Students majoring in dietetics may earn a DPD (Didactic Program in Dietetics) Verification Statement (which is required to apply for a dietetic internship and registered dietitian exam).
The DPD program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics
