BS in Nutrition and Food Science Middle Tennessee State University

Everyone must eat, but does everyone know the most cost-effective, tasty, and healthy way to do so? The Nutrition and Food Science major in MTSU's Department of Human Sciences is designed to train students to apply the science of human nutrition and the art and skills of food preparation to improve the health of their clients. The major offers three options:

This option is an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics, the first step required to become a registered dietitian. MTSU’s program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).

Food Industry

This option prepares students to work for food processors, government agencies, and non-government organizations, or pursue graduate studies in food science.

Nutrition and Wellness

With the increased awareness of the role that nutrition has on wellness, this option prepares students to work with people of all ages, cultures, and economic means in individual and group settings to select foods that will promote healthy body weights and adequate nutrition throughout their life cycles.
