SEU Foods and Nutrition students

Make a Healthy Lifestyle Your Career

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.


SEU's Nutrition and Dietetic (DPD) concentration and the Dietetic Internship are fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

ACEND can be reached at:

120 South Riverside Plaza
Suite 2190
Chicago, IL 60606-6995
1-800-877-1600, ×5400

Our program was granted full accreditation in 2016 for a seven-year period.

 

DPD PROGRAM ACCREDITATION NOTIFICATION

The undergraduate Didactic Program in Dietetics at Saint Elizabeth University will not be seeking re-accreditation with the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).  We are pleased to announce that the Department of Foods and Nutrition has received initial accreditation from ACEND for a Graduate Program (future model design). 

The new SEU Graduate Program in Nutrition and Dietetics will meet the 2024 ACEND and CDR professional standard for a master’s degree and aligned experiential competencies. This program is set to launch Fall 2025!  SEU is pleased to offer a new streamlined pathway for becoming a Registered Dietitian!

The Nutrition and Dietetics undergraduate concentration is currently being remodeled as a pre-dietetics, non-accredited option to help traditional, transfer and second-degree students reach pre-professional program qualifications. If you have immediate questions, please contact Monica Luby at mluby@steu.edu.
