Overview

By completing the Nutrition and Food Sciences BSc degree offered by The University of Vermont you will also complete the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD Program), and be able to obtain a verification statement which makes you eligible to apply to an internship or supervised practice program in order to become a Registered Dietitian (R.D.)

Dietetics is a growing profession as health care moves from treatment to prevention. Health-care reform and policies discussed in Washington and across the country all include prevention related components.

Although many health professionals are interested in prevention, Registered Dietitians are at the cutting edge of prevention, because so many preventable diseases and conditions are tied to food and nutrition.
