Overview

UTSA’s Nutrition and Dietetics Program

The Nutrition and Dietetics program of The University of Texas at San Antonio serves as the foundation for the Master of Dietetics Studies (M.D.S.) and is the first step to becoming a registered dietitian. As you work toward earning your B.S., you’ll attend classes and acquire off-site practicum hours consisting of community dietetics, clinical dietetics, and food service management. In this unique program, you’ll earn a joint degree in both the B.S. and M.D.S., which will certify you to take the national exam to become a registered dietitian.

As a dietitian, you’ll determine the appropriate nutrition interventions for all stages of the life cycle. You’ll find employment in a number of healthcare facilities like hospitals, wellness and fitness centers and food service operations. Your career may include offering 1:1 counseling, group education, and nutritional assessments to promote health using medical nutrition therapy. You can also work in a teaching capacity in culinary schools and colleges, or conduct research for food and pharmaceutical organizations.
