Welcome to the Nutrition and Food Science Future Students page. We are located in the hub of the cultural Center and we are a short walk from the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Science Center, Museum of African-American History, New Center, many restaurants and other fine attractions.
Students graduating as nutrition and food science majors have found employment in food manufacturing and processing industries, and in government and community agencies. The federal government projects a shortage of food science graduates through, at least, the end of the century. Food science comprises many fields including developing new products, quality control, ensuring food safety, and many other exciting areas. The B.S. track is also an excellent way of fulfilling premedical or predental course requirements. Students interested in working as nutritional practitioners enroll in the Coordinated Program in Dietetics. Graduates are eligible to take the national registry exam of the American Dietetic Association and once credentialed, have found employment in hospitals, health promotion agencies, extended care facilities, and in private practice. Graduates with a B.A. degree have found employment as supervisors in restaurants, catering operations, and with large food companies in the metro Detroit area.
At the undergraduate level, Nutrition & Food Science has three separate curricula leading to a bachelor's degree. They are:
The B.S. degree is obtained by nutrition and food science or dietetic majors. The B.A. degree requires less extensive course work in the sciences.
