The Department of Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences offers two Bachelor of Science degrees: Food and Nutrition and Human Sciences. There are two majors under the Food and Nutrition degree: 1) Dietetics; 2) Food and Nutrition Science; and two majors under the Human Science degree: Exercise Science; 2) Athletic Training/Sports Medicine.
The purpose of the dietetics major is to provide the foundation knowledge and skills required for the didactic component of entry-level dietetics education. This Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312/899-5400. Completion of the DPD program, which entails satisfying the graduation requirements for the dietetics major plus the food service management laboratory (FSS 4315L, Institutional Organization and Administrative Laboratory) as an elective, meets the academic requirements for membership in the ADA. Graduates of the DPD program are eligible to apply to graduate school and/or post-baccalaureate, accredited dietetic internships. The dietetic internship, which provides the competencies for the supervised practice component of dietetics education, is in turn required for eligibility to take the national Registration Examination for Dietitians. Careers are available for dietitians in clinical, research, community, food service, management, and educational settings and consulting.
The food and nutrition science major has a strong science base that prepares students for job opportunities in the food industry, government agencies, careers in the medical field as well as graduate study in the field.
The exercise science major prepares professionals with expertise in fitness, exercise physiology, and pre-physical therapy. Students in the fitness option are prepared for graduate study as well as positions as personal trainers and health fitness instructors with both hospital-based wellness programs and corporate fitness programs. The exercise physiology option prepares students for graduate study in exercise physiology and for medical school. Students in the pre-physical therapy option complete course work required for entrance to physical therapy or occupational therapy programs.
The athletic training/sports medicine major provides the course work required by the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification (NATABOC), and the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Heath Education Programs (CAAHEP). Athletic training/sports medicine is offered to students interested in working with injury prevention, recognition and immediate care, rehabilitation, health care management and professional development in a sports medicine environment. Athletic training/sports medicine students have an opportunity to gain clinical experience in a variety of sports settings, both on and off campus. Access to clinical opportunities are limited. These opportunities require the following:
- a minimum GPA of 2.5 or better;
- successful completion of PET 1638 and admittance into PET 1941; and,
- student must meet all technical standards for admission.
See an academic advisor for details. To qualify to take the NATABOC certification examination, students must have a minimum of 1500 hours and complete all didactic, clinical, and field experiences.
For each undergraduate major, students may have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills through supervised practica. In the practicum courses, students may be assigned to work with specific medical, food service or community agencies or an adult fitness class.
Academic Performance
- Students who earn more than five unsatisfactory grades (U, F, D-, D, D+) in any course required for the majors in dietetics, food and nutrition science, exercise science or athletic training/sports medicine (including chemistry, biological sciences, statistics, or required electives) at The Florida State University or elsewhere, whether or not repeated, will not be permitted to graduate with a degree in food and nutrition or human sciences.
- In order to graduate with a degree in food and nutrition or human sciences students must have a minimum GPA of 2.5.
