Two-thirds of Americans are overweight.
76 million fall ill to pathogens in food annually.
12.6 million don't have enough food to stay healthy.

Scientists in the Nutrition and Food Sciences department at UVM are working to resolve these issues. You can help, too.

Such powerful social, political and cultural challenges demand a new generation of food and nutrition professionals. Whether your goal is to become a registered dietitian who specializes in weight management or a consultant to a food manufacturer that`s trying to develop safer, healthier products, an NFS degree from UVM will serve you well in your future-and, at the same time, provide you with knowledge and skills that will help you to serve others.

Our programs provide

A solid grounding in the physical, biochemical and nutritional sciences
An understanding of the sociological, cultural and behavioral forces that influence attitudes about food and nutrition in the real world
Easy access to your professors
Opportunities for internships, networking and research (even as an undergrad)
