Overview

University of Nevada's Nutrition Sciences programmes are student-focused with contact hours provided through lecture-based and laboratory courses. With several concentration areas of study to choose from, students will have the opportunity to engage in field experiences supervised by Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists and other healthcare/nutrition-related professionals. Summer and part-time work, or volunteer experiences in the profession, are encouraged to help bolster a competitive application for Masters/MS-DI programs. Nutrition and dietetics professionals have a unique knowledge of the science and art of nutrition. The blend of scientific knowledge with the social and cultural factors influencing what people eat enables Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists and healthcare professionals to assist individuals in health promotion, disease prevention, and disease management.

Career Possibilities

Nutrition Sciences graduates are prepared to work in clinical dietetics as interns and graduate students under the supervision of licensed RDNs. Some may also enjoy helping professional or recreational athletes in sports ranging from sprinting to stock car racing as Licensed and Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs). Others may find employment in health clubs, spas, or neighborhood gyms. Others may work in food service for corporations, schools, airlines and the military. Those with inquiring minds may prefer the laboratory, conducting experiments for quality assurance departments, new products for offices or drug companies to delineate metabolic pathways.
