Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics

The Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Santo Tomas is a four-year program. It develops students for professional work with nutrition in three areas: hospital, community, and food service. It integrates academic and clinical knowledge and skills, with a focus on clinical nutrition and hospital practicum, and it is described as preparation for medicine.
