ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ

The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.

The Nutrition and Dietetics major with a Concentration in Community Nutrition and Food will prepare students for a number of careers in community nutrition as well as food service management. At ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ, students in the Community Nutrition and Food Concentration have opportunities to participate in a very active food recovery program, strengthen leadership skills, participate in research projects with faculty, attend professional nutrition and food conferences, join student clubs, write articles for a student-led monthly publication, and more. In addition, students will receive preparation for and be qualified to take the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Credentialing exam.
