Academic Plan

Students are primarily in the classroom their first year and learn through instruction, discussions, laboratories, and classroom activities. At the end of the first year, students are placed in their first supervised practice facility to obtain professional training.

Students who have not completed the prerequisite “Nutrient Function and Metabolism” and “Metabolic Basis of Human Health and Disease” courses have the option of taking these courses for an additional fee.

Students spend more time at on-site supervised practice training facilities and less time in the classroom as they continue into their second year. Students will be on campus one day a week and spend four days in a supervised practice facility.

Specific course sequencing can be found in the program handbook and course plan.
