Pre-Dietetics

boise state dietitian

Did you know: The word dietetics originates from the Greek word diaita, meaning “way of life”. From the earliest recorded history, nutrition has been part of the cause, cure, and prevention of diseases.

The Pre-Dietetics Pathway at Boise State University will prepare students to apply for admission to bachelor or graduate level dietetic programs across the country. We strongly encourage students to work closely with their pre-health advisor to successfully meet admissions requirements for the program(s) of their choice.
