Welcome to the Pepperdine Nutritional Science Division! Browsing through this site, you’ll find everything from educational opportunities the division has posted to figuring out a feasible 4-year plan as a Nutritional Science Major.

The Nutritional Science program is designed to:

  • Provide the student with a comprehensive and practical approach to the field of nutrition, as well as an understanding of current research topics and controversies.
  • Provide the student interested in a career in dietetics with an ADA (American Dietetic Association)-approved Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), thus preparing the student for the dietetic internship.
  • Provide the student interested in a career in food service with skills and understanding in the areas of foods, nutrition, and management.
  • Provide the student interested in a career in the health professions with an appreciation for the importance of nutrition in human biology and an understanding of the relationship between diet and the states of health and disease.
  • Prepare the student interested in graduate study in nutrition or food service.

Enjoy

We are looking forward to having three different workshops spread over the semester!  The first one will be on dietetic internships in September followed by graduate programs in October and employment opportunities in November.
