Bluffton University's bachelor's degree program in dietetics will begin an internship program next fall.
The program will include curricular themes centered around public health nutrition. Dr. Deborah Myers, an associate professor and director of the university's dietetics program, outlined the new internship program in a campus colloquium.
“Students are forewarned that this will be like a fifth year of school,” she said, noting that internships are usually nine months long, with work averaging about 40 hours a week. To apply, students must submit their applications, résumés, cover letters and letters of recommendation like any job.
Graduates go on to work in hospitals and long-term care facilities, nutrition counseling, food service management, research/teaching, public health departments, fitness and health centers, private practices and corporations.
Bluffton's undergraduate dietetics program is accredited by the American Dietetic Association's Commission on Accreditation of Dietetics Education.
