The programs in the Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health focus on nutrition and physical activity, dietetics, chronic disease prevention and management, athletic training, functional foods and diet supplements, sensory analysis and public health nutrition.
The Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health offers the following five bachelor of science programs: Athletic Training and Rehabilitation Science, Dietetics, Human Nutrition Nutrition and Health (pre-health), Nutrition and Kinesiology (dual degree), Sports Nutrition and Human Nutrition Nutritional Sciences (pre-med). Our department, also, offers online BS completion programs in Dietetics and Nutrition and Health. Many students prefer our programs to prepare them for entry in Medical, Physical Therapy, Physician’s Assistant, Dental, Nursing, and other health professional schools.
Students who want to become registered dietitian nutritionists must take additional specific courses to meet the academic requirements of the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). These courses are offered in the – didactic program in dietetics, DPD; or the coordinated program in dietetics, CPD within the bachelor of science in dietetics. Students completing the DPD will be eligible to apply for an accredited dietetic internships that include a Master’s degree. CP students complete the required supervised practice hours within the CP. Starting Fall 2022 CP students are also required to complete a Master’s Degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Sensory Sciences (NDSS) in order to earn a verification statement of completion from the CP at Kansas State University. Graduate students pursing the Master’s in Nutrition, Dietetics and Sensory Science are eligible to concurrently complete the non-degree DPD coursework before applying to accredited dietetics internships. Interested students should contact the Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health. Students in our accredited programs will have opportunities for practicums, internships and shadowing at various healthcare facilities, food service companies, and/or human performance sites while pursuing their degree.
We offer accelerated BS/MS and BS/MPH options that allows students to more efficiently obtain their graduate degree. The combined BS/MS program allows exceptional undergraduate students in the Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health the opportunity to obtain both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in shorter time than typically required to earn a BS plus a MS if both degrees are pursued separately. Students can obtain the MS with a thesis, report, or coursework-only option. The accelerated BS/MS program is available to distance students through Global Campus. This allows our undergraduate distance students to pursue their graduate degree with us.
We have specialized laboratories for studying and conducting research related to sensory analysis at Ice Hall and the Olathe campus. Faculty conduct nutrition-related research in Justin Hall, across Kansas via the Cooperative Extension network and in the Physical Activity and Nutrition Clinical Research Consortium located in the Lafene Student Health Center building. The Athletic Training faculty also conduct research in the Lafene Student Health Center building. We have faculty who supervise students in food systems management at Kramer and Derby Dining Centers. Our faculty regularly schedule study tours to Asia, Central America, South America, and Europe. Our department Faculty offers numerous undergraduate research opportunities in our Kansas State University facilities, Kansas communities, and various national and international faculty visits.
