As an integral member of the health care and food service management teams, they influence food choices and lifestyles to promote optimal health. The program consists of five domains that include clinical, community, education, management and foodservice systems. The five domains are then grouped into two major domains of foodservice systems/management and clinical nutrition that align with accreditation and NDTR national credentialing exam parameters. The Nutrition \u0026 Dietetics Technician program is designed to be completed in five (5) consecutive semesters on a full-time basis. Some students elect to attend on a part-time basis, extending the length of study to three academic years. The curriculum consists of open enrollment courses (general education and division specific) and program specific courses with limited enrollment. The open enrollment courses may be taken prior to entry into the limited enrollment courses. The limited enrollment coursework includes 570 hours of unpaid directed practice experiences at area community, food service and health care facilities. The limited enrollment coursework also includes 285 lab hours completed in the Nutrition \u0026 Dietetics Food Lab and general education laboratories. To qualify for entry to limited enrollment courses, please see the Applicant Information packet located on the program webpage. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required, as well as a grade of C or higher in all program courses.
