Nutrition
Nutrition degrees offered at LLU prepare undergraduate and graduate students to sit for the registration examinations of the Commission on Dietetic Registration to become registered dietitians (RD) or dietetic technician registered (DTR). LLU nutrition programs are coordinated, meaning the classroom curriculum is enhanced, with clinical applications and experiences in local medical facilities. Under-girding all educational experiences is a vegetarian approach to nutrition. Academic pursuits are designed to provide students with opportunities to learn, apply, and advance the scientific understanding of vegetarian related issues. Graduate degrees can be focused in the nutrition sciences or public health nutrition at the master's level. (See SPH nutrition.) Doctoral programs may be pursued in nutrition and other related areas. Recent additions to the nutrition curricula at LLU include two certificate options available through the undergraduate nutrition department. These options allow those with at least a BS degree to pursue registration status after appropriate academic and supervised practice experiences are successfully completed. Registration is through the Commission on Dietetics Registration (CDR).
