Job prospects are bright for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists—especially those who graduate from UNC’s accredited dietetics bachelor’s degree program. About 75 percent of our students (above the national average) are admitted to postgraduate internships, which are required before you can take the national board examination to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).

You’ll receive exceptional academic and professional advising from the moment you enter the dietetics program at UNC. Each first-year student gets paired with a faculty advisor and receives personalized mentoring from enrollment through graduation. The program provides you with a strong science foundation and practical training in professional skills such as communication, counseling, education, and management.

The College of Natural and Health Sciences offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in the natural, health, human and mathematical sciences. Our students benefit from mentoring by faculty who are national and international experts in their fields and from meaningful research opportunities in state-of-the-art facilities.

Our graduates leave us with a first-class education that has prepared them to contribute to society whether they become health-care providers, educators, scientists, dietitians, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, sports administrators, rehabilitation counselors, mathematicians, athletic trainers, recreation program managers, gerontologists, or work in other public service-oriented fields. Regardless of their area of expertise, they make a difference in the communities in which they live and work.
