What Students Say
Cami Gilman
Nutrition major
"I love dietetics! I couldn't dream up a major that fits me better. I'm really into fitness and health, but even more than that I just love food! Working in the food lab, we get to make delicious treats that are good for you too…
Then in our other classes we learn about how and why they are good for you. There are so many job opportunities for Dietetics majors - from being a Registered Dietician to working in culinary arts. Right now, I'm looking to go to culinary school after graduation."
Sarah Heaven
Community Nutrition major
“I chose to major in Community Nutrition to gain a well- rounded approach to health care. The program allows me to be knowledgeable about biological processes in the body, as well as how to help guide individuals in choosing how they fuel their bodies. During my time at 兔子先生, I’ve learned that “food is medicine” and many diseases could be prevented or progression slowed by changing diet.”
