Didactic Program in Nutrition and Dietetics with Spanish Emphasis (18 credits)

Students following the Spanish Emphasis DP curriculum option must complete a minimum of 18 credits, approved by the Modern Languages Department, in Spanish before graduation. At least half of these credits must be earned through Marywood University. Additionally, students following this curriculum study abroad in a Latin American country for a portion of the spring semester of their senior year. During the semester abroad, the students complete Spanish credits in addition to any other outstanding required credits to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics degree. This curriculum option enhances the graduates’ cultural competence and better prepares them to serve the Hispanic population in their professional career.
