| Food and Nutrition programs were developed
in 1969. In 1972, the Dietetics major was approved and in
1974, Food and Business was developed as an interdisciplinary
program. In 1998, the Food and Business program was revised
and is now called Food Service and Restaurant Administration.
Courses were renamed to reflect the broader mission.
Course content is revised on a continuing basis to keep current
with the changing demands of the foodservice industry. Click
here if you would like to review the Handbook for Dietetics
and Foodservice Majors. The Dietetics program has been revised
numerous times since its inception in order that the current
requirements of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) are
met or exceeded. The program is accredited by CADE of the
DA to offer a didactic program in dietetics (DPD).
In 1997, the New York State Education Department (SED) approved
Oneonta's program as a licensure-qualifying baccalaureate
program. This means that graduates of the Dietetics program
have met the SED educational criteria for the Certified Dietitian
Nutritionist (CDN) credential upon graduation. Applicants
for the CDN credential must complete SED's additional requirements
for experience and examination and submit the required fee.
The Department has recently been granted Developmental Accrediatation
by the ADA to offer a GRADUATE DIETETIC INTERNSHIP starting
in 2001. |
