Overview

The Nutrition program at Shepherd University encompasses principles of problem solving and critical thinking, scientific and mathematical concepts (i.e., calculating macronutrient distribution ranges), cultural competencies (i.e., socio-historical background of diverse populations to provide the appropriate nutrition intervention) and the use of relevant technologies (i.e., dietary and nutrient analysis software).

These skills are highly desired and utilized in various consumer and healthcare settings such as management positions in clinical, acute care settings, home health agencies, assisted living and long-term care facilities, community nutrition, and in food service and restaurant establishments.
