<p>Im wondering if there is anyone out there that is majoring in Nutritional Science with the Dietetic concentration that could give me their opinion of the program there at BU.</p>
<p>I am having a hard time trying to choose the perfect program for me and of course when I speak to professors and administrators, they all make their programs seem like the best out there.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I have a few friends in the dietetics program. They all say that it is a rigorous program. To give you an idea, most people who are in the graduate program take the same classes as undergrads in the nutrition program.</p>
<p>i was a nutritional science major. it's much more rigorous than dietetics: you take all the premed courses required (i.e. 2 semesters of orgo instead of 1, 2 semesters of chem instead of one, etc) which are more difficult than those required for dietetics (don't be fooled: ch 101 & 102 is much more difficult than ch 171, though the numbering indicates otherwise). it was a good option for me until i got into a med school program and then they had too many requirements that didn't coincide,so i switched to human physiology. Health</a> Sciences | Academic Departments here's the website for both majors. explore the career options available to you with each degree, and whether or not the pre-med component is appealing to you.</p>
<p>goodnight, I think some of the students in the graduate program take the same classes as the undergrads because BU is one of the few schools that has a graduate program for students who only majored in nutrution, and don't have the required dietetics courses to get into an internship program and sit for their RD exam. At least that is what I think is going on with what you explained.</p>
<p>Ali, thanks for the info. I am not considering pre-med at all. My goal is to do my UG in Dietetics either in a coordinated program or dual major. Then do a masters/coordinated program and sit for my RD exam and become a registered dietician.</p>
<p>I am very curious about the research/internship opportunities available to those in the nutritional science program at BU. It would seem that there would be plenty available, but I really don't know.</p>
<p>What I meant to say before is that BU's undergraduate program is superior than it's graduate program. If you do come to BU, I'd have to warn you that the first year of classes includes no nutrition courses. Most of the nutrition courses begin in your sophmore year.</p>
<p>There are research/internship opportunities available at BU. But being in Boston, you have an even larger opportunity to find something that caters to your interests.</p>
<p>If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!</p>
