Maintaining proper nutrition is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves, and you’d love to work in a field where you can help others understand the significance of a proper diet. Our master of science degree will teach you the latest information on nutrition, including the way it impacts different populations and how to analyze nutritional data and perform research. If you are interested in becoming a dietitian, enrolling in this graduate program is a prerequisite to being part of Brooklyn College’s Dietitian Internship program, which will provide you with the supervised practice experience required to sit for the Registered Dietitian exam.
The nutrition program has given me an understanding of the relationship between disease and nutrition. If more people knew about this relationship, far fewer would be diagnosed with diseases. Better yet, far more would have a higher quality of life.
