Department of Nutritional Sciences
The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) – Department of Nutritional Sciences supports the philosophy that learning is lifelong; within the department, dietetics programs are offered on the pre-professional, graduate and doctoral levels. Individuals may also take academic courses for continuing professional education credit. The Department of Nutritional Sciences Vision for 2014 details the collaborative strengths and future path of the department.
Our education programs are models for entry, specialty and advanced-level clinical nutrition in both academic and continuing professional education. The programs utilize in-person and technology driven platforms to prepare dietetics practitioners at all levels of practice to service the state, nation and communities abroad.
Graduates have critical thinking and scientific skills needed for clinical dietetics practice, management, research, and leadership to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The programs instill an appreciation for interdisciplinary collaboration and education, and provide opportunities to achieve expanded roles in health promotion, disease prevention, and intervention for a multi-cultural society. The faculty members serve as role models in dietetics education, practice, and research, along with leadership and service to the profession.
