The Department of Foods and Nutrition offers a solid foundation in science and the liberal arts and approaches the food and nutritional needs of individuals holistically. Our courses of study emphasize evidence-based practices, ethical leadership, social responsibility, service to the community, and lifelong learning.

The department offers a B.S. in Foods and Nutrition with two program options, including a Nutrition and Dietetics (Didactic Program in Dietetics) and a General Studies in Foods and Nutrition. For graduate students, SEU offers an M.S. in Nutrition (fully online), a combined B.S./M.S. in Nutrition, and a combined M.S. in Nutrition/Dietetic Internship Program.
