Program Description Students in the Southern Utah University nutrition program choose between the pre-dietetic track or the allied health track depending on their specific career goals. The nutrition program at Southern Utah University prepares students for graduate dietetic and medical programs. All through the four-year program, Southern Utah University nutrition professors are deeply invested in their students’ success and advise them on career plans, mentor them, and support them in their passion to enter this growing career field. By graduation day, students are well prepared to take the next step in their nutrition career, be that graduate school or an entry-level position in the field. The Southern Utah University nutrition program is highly experiential and students have many opportunities to use skills learned in the classroom in the real world. The Nutrition Assessment class provides students with the experience of having a nutrition assessment completed on themselves while providing that service to others. Students take measurements of body fat, calorie intake, and other such calculations to devise nutrition care plans tailored to individuals’ specific needs. The Community Nutrition course provides students with opportunities to learn from and serve local nutrition programs, such as homeless shelters, food pantries, and other human service organizations. The Food Preparation and Food Science classes provide students cooking experiences in Southern Utah University kitchen labs.
