In this course, students will develop their research project. After the proposal has been finalized, students will complete necessary prerequisites for conducting research (such as IRB applications, data access applications, etc.). Lastly, students will begin collecting and analyzing data in anticipation for a final written research project and presentation the following semester as a part of NUTR-641.

Students will complete data collection and analysis, which was initiated in NUTR-640. In addition, students will work with faculty to interpret data and prepare results for presentation to the class and department. The final project will include an oral defense of the study and a written research project for potential publication and presentation. Prerequisite: 640.

Through an evidence-based seminar course, the faculty and students will explore the emerging trends and issues in nutrition and dietetics. Topics may include technology, food microbiology and safety, world hunger, and new food products.

In this course, students will fulfill 500 hours of community supervised practice. This will be 4 days per week for 8 hours each day, including finals week. Students will assume responsibilities in a community nutrition setting. Students will be evaluated on management skills and more importantly on the synthesis of knowledge and skills that combine the science and the art of managing nutrition-specific community nutrition. The student will also continue to explore their role as a professional person through online discussions and assignments.
