DieteticsSpotlightLights, Action! Judy Stauter (Instructor in Dietetics Program) and Dr. Dale Edwards (Professor in Journalism and Mass Communication Program) are collaborating on a new project that will provide dietetics’ students and communication students experiences in developing a campus version of a cooking show similar to what is seen on the “Food Network”. The students in Stauters’ food science class and students in Dr. Edward’s production class are developing a new series called Healthy Eating on a Budget. The before and behind the camera experiences will be beneficial for both groups of students. The food science students will develop recipes and have an opportunity on camera to show step-by-step how to prepare a healthy dish. They will also complete a nutrition analysis, cost analysis and healthy eating tips for each recipe. The mass communication students will be involved in the on-camera interviews; shooting the footage and producing the segment. The entire production is student-based. The segments will air on Bear News Channel 98 which is viewed by approximately 250,000 people from all of northern Colorado. The Distance Dietetic Program was launched in summer 2004 - students can earn their bachelor’s degree in our accredited dietetic program from anywhere in the world. The Dietetic Program owns a BOD POD which, provides a very accurate measure of percent body fat with a quick and painless visit inside the POD. Dietetics at UNC prepares students to meet the changing needs of society and industry in food and nutrition. You'll develop a sound knowledge base in science and acquitted professional skills that will prepare you to work with the nutritional needs of populations of all ages. You'll study physiological, biological and behavioral sciences to provide the foundation for a wide range of studies applicable to the community, clinical, private practice and management aspects of nutrition in health care. Dietetics students develop human relationship skills and expertise in addressing nutritional needs for human growth and development throughout the life cycle. Completion of the Didactic Program in Dietetics is the first step toward dietetic registration. You'll have the knowledge and skill competencies defined by the commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of The American Dietetic Association to apply for a supervised practice program in dietetics and the following registration exam to become a Registered Dietitian.
