After the completion of a bachelor's
degree, students can move to the job market or continue their education
in the Master of Public Health (M.P.H.), the Master of Clinical Exercise
Physiology (M.C.E.P.) or the Master of Science in Nutrition and Wellness,
according to the university website: http://www.ben.edu/nutrition. This
is the newest and currently the only program in the country combining
upper level classes of Nutrition and Wellness with a Dietetic Internship
program. The internship program, also offered with M.P.H. degree, remains
very important for students planning to work in the healthcare field,
allowing them to prepare for the requirements of the Registered Dietitian
Exam. Each year about 15-20 students finish the undergraduate degree
and one-third to one-half of them apply to the graduate programs.
The enormous diversity of these programs offers wide job opportunities.
Some of the positions held by Benedictine graduates include: weight
loss counselor, clinical dietitian, product buyer, food and nutrition
services director and quality assurance manager. As Davis explained,
"The profession is only limited by what you want to do."
For more information regarding nutrition programs, contact Julie Davis
at Department of Biological Sciences.
