Are you ready for a career in nutrition? Mesa College’s Nutrition program courses
explore the scientific principles of nutrition as it applies to health and diseases to
help you prepare for jobs in the dietetics or nutrition fields. An apple a day likely
won’t keep the doctor away - and while some aspects of our health are outside our
control, Mesa College’s Nutrition program ensures that by being mindful of the food
we eat, we can learn to support healthier living. In addition to implementing informed
diets that are sensitive to different lifestyles and cultures, the program will help
you deliver fitness recommendations of all kinds that accommodate people's unique
level of ability. With the opportunity to supplement coursework with participation
in nutrition and food service activities in healthcare facilities (upon completion
of a background check), you will develop a scientific approach to food that utilizes
new technologies to measure nutritional intake. Not everyone has access to a high-quality
education, accessible food, or has been taught to prioritize their health; however,
through courses in Mesa College’s Nutrition program, you will be one step closer to
helping others reach their health goals in your career as a registered dietitian and/or
as you continue your education at another institution.
