Nutrition and Dietetics
The major in nutrition and dietetics gives Â鶹APP a robust STEM education focused on foods and what they do for our bodies. The undergraduate major encompasses the Virginia Tech Didactic Program in Dietetics which is an ACEND-accredited program. After earning a DPD Verification Statement, Â鶹APP are eligible to apply to Dietetic Internship programs.
Upon successful internship completion, interns may sit for the national RD exam and become certified as RD/RDNs. While many Â鶹APP choose to pursue paths towards becoming a Registered Dietitian in this major, there are many career options including sports nutrition and other health professions.
