                                                            Welcome!
                             to the food and nutrition programs at Murray State University!

The Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Management Program offers a Bachelor of Science degree with two areas of emphasis
in food and nutrition.

Dietetics Emphasis

The dietetics emphasis prepares students to become Registered Dietitians (R.D.), noted professionals in the field of food and nutrition.  Students complete their four-year class studies on campus and then apply for a six-month to one-year internship in a healthcare institution located nearby or elsewhere around the country.  Completion of the internship enables the student to take the registration examination to earn the R.D. credential.  Students who choose not to complete an internship can be employed in many positions in the food and nutrition industry.  The curriculum allows for supporting electives in a nutrition related area of interest such as exercise, journalism or business.

Food Management Emphasis

The food management emphasis prepares graduates for exciting and well-compensated careers in foodservice management.  The four-year program includes both classroom instruction and actual on-the-job experience on campus for college credit.  Graduates are prepared for positions as foodservice directors in public and commercial food businesses, as well as positions in institutional foodservices such as businesses and hospitals.  Other positions include food sales and marketing representatives, purchasing agents, and catering positions.  Career opportunities are abundant and cover a wide variety of personal interests.
