A bachelor’s degree in Food and Nutrition from The University of Alabama focuses on the relationship between nutrition and human health. This program is beneficial because it is offered exclusively by distance, making it convenient for working adults.

Students will learn how to translate the science of nutrition into the best way to treat and prevent disease in individuals and communities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of registered dietitians is expected to increase nine percent during the 2008-2018 projection period.

This focus will boost demand for nutritional counseling and treatment in outpatient facilities, hospitals, residential care facilities, schools, community health programs, and home healthcare agencies. As the profession continues to grow, entrepreneurial RDs can also be found working in sports nutrition, private practice, food science, journalism, and corporate wellness.

Our program is an ACEND approved didactic program and upon completion you will be eligible to apply to dietetic internships. After completion of a dietetic internship, you will then be eligible to sit for the Registered Dietitian exam and become an RD upon passing the exam.
