Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Mission
The mission of the University of North Florida Nutrition and Dietetics department is to educate and inspire students of every level through leadership, scholarly pursuits and community engagement.
Study Abroad
During the summer 2024, the Nutrition and Dietetics Department is offering two study abroad experiences to students. The Study Abroad Italy experience exposes students to the benefits of the local Mediterranean diet and the culture surrounding food, which influences health. The class structure includes lectures from prominent experts, language classes, and hands-on cooking classes. The Study Abroad Brazil experience immerses students into sustainability and biodiversity issues in Brazil with a focus on organic farming, permaculture and sustainable agricultural and business practices. Study abroad opportunities can impact all aspects of students’ lives, from enriching their education to conferring them valuable life skills and a broader perspective on the world that will help them become better human beings.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
In the fall of 2023, the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics was able to award $10,000 in scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students to attend the annual Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics conference in Denver, Colorado.
