Laurea in Scienze della Nutrizione e degli Alimenti

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:

Dietetics

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.

Offering 300+ undergraduate and graduate degrees of study in diverse disciplines that prepare students for high-demand careers.

Many of our programs have earned national and, sometimes, international recognition for excellence. A highly-trained and dedicated group of faculty members not only prepare our students for their first job, but for careers that might not yet exist. Gaining a comprehensive education, instead of only specializing in one skill that could become less important a decade or two from now, that actually prepares students to handle diverse challenges of the job market.
