Department of Nutritional Sciences:
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
In the Department of Nutritional Sciences students
gain knowledge about general nutrition, nutritional
biochemistry, medical nutrition therapy, public health
nutrition, nutrition counseling, and nutrition research.
Three unique programs prepare students to work as registered
dietitians in a variety of practice settings. A Master
of Science Program prepares registered dietitians for
advance practice and nutrition research.
Our Coordinated
Program (CP) is the only one in Oklahoma. The Coordinated
BS degree is the fastest route to becoming a registered
dietitian. The 900 hours of supervised practice
required before taking the national registration exam
are incorporated into the last four semesters of
the BS degree that requires 5 semesters to complete.
Our Master
of Arts in Dietetics is an accredited Didactic
Program in Dietetics (DPD). After completing the MA
in Dietetics, students are eligible to apply for a
dietetic internship. Some courses in the MA will apply
toward a Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences.
Our Master
of Science degree is designed for registered dietitians
or other post baccalaureate professionals desiring
advanced knowledge in nutrition. A non-thesis option
is available.
Our Dietetic
Internship is a community-based supervised practice
experience. Students complete the requirements to take
the national registration
exam in just seven months. Visit the program
information web site for more information and to apply
to the Dietetic Internship program.
