Careers
The study of nutrition science lays a solid foundation for future academics, researchers, doctors, dentists, physicians' assistants, and other health professionals. Graduates with a bachelor's degree can also work in government agencies that focus on nutrition, or they can pursue laboratory work or pharmaceutical sales.
Graduates with an M.S. in Nutrition Science can do research in nutrition, food science, or health, and with additional courses they can also pursue Dietetic Registration.
Degree Programs
As time passes, improvements and changes are made by faculty to academic programs. Students are subject to the set of degree requirements in place during the first term in which the student is enrolled in a degree program on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University. This set of requirements is what shows up on a student’s online academic advisement report. However, students may elect to move to any newer set of requirements. Students wishing to do this must contact the School of HPER Records Office to request the change. Students are responsible for knowing the requirements for their degree(s). For assistance with degree requirements, see your departmental advisor. Below are links to sets of degree requirements. Please pay attention to effective date ranges to determine which link to open to see your requirements.
