The mission of the Didactic Program in Nutrition and Dietetics is to prepare graduates for a professional career in or related to nutrition and dietetics through a student-focused approach rooted in the Catholic liberal arts tradition. The General Studies in Foods and Nutrition (GSFN) concentration is designed to allow students more flexibility in planning their career path. Students are encouraged to combine their FN studies with a minor, offering the opportunity for students to expand their personal interests in other health-related areas such as fitness and wellness, nutrition research, public health or opportunities within the food and pharmaceutical industries.
