The nutrition program at Meredith College offers three distinct programs in the field of foods and nutrition: an accredited undergraduate or DPD program, an accredited Dietetic Internship program and a Master of Science in Nutrition. Meredith nutrition students have an advantage in that the College offers all the programs needed to meet one's various career goals, be it professional credentialing (Registered Dietitian), advanced academic training (M.S.) or both.

An undergraduate major in foods and nutrition is good preparation for a wide variety of careers in the nutrition field, or as groundwork for further study.

Degree requirements
Students must meet all prerequisites and take eight hours of core courses and an additional 10 to 12 hours from a list of course offerings.

Majors are encouraged to gain experience in the field of nutrition and dietetics through on and off campus volunteer and work experiences and with the Meredith College Student Dietetic Association.
