Given our curriculum`s comprehensive education in the basic sciences -- and its in-depth exploration of nutrition and food science -- an NFS degree from UVM will open doors to careers in the food, health and wellness industries.

NFS alums currently are working as community nutritionists, research and development scientists at major food manufacturers, educators, and pharmaceutical sales representatives.

Our curriculum`s strong science core is the perfect prep for graduate work at research institutes, medical and dental schools. Interested in becoming a physical therapist? Through our "3+3" program, students complete all NFS requirements in 3 years and apply to enter the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.

If your goal is to work as a nutritionist in a clinical setting, to counsel individuals on how to improve their diets, or to consult for educational institutions and corporations, you can combine the NFS major with a Dietetics major (many of the courses overlap). An assessable faculty member guides you through the processing of applying for the dietetic internship and registering for the exam that are required to become a Registered Dietitian.
