Leslie Anne Ouellette MAJOR: Nutrition & Food Sciences; Dietetics MINOR:
Small Business Entrepreneurship
HOMETOWN:
Harpswell, ME
WHY NFS?
In high school, I heard a food scientist from Nestle speak about the science of chocolate making. It sounded like a cool career: I've always been interested in cooking, baking, and food in general.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY:
My work-study job is helping with Dr. Harvey-Berino's Internet weight loss studies. It's allowed me to gain research experience as an undergrad. SOMEDAY...
I want to open my own restaurant or bakery. But, first I plan to complete a dietetic internship and sit for the RD exam, and work as a dietitian in a clinical setting.

Undergraduate Quick Facts
Nutrition and food are central to many of the social issues our country is struggling to solve. (think: diabetes, food-borne illness, food insecurity) With a solid grounding in basic science, food science and nutrition, and their cultural contexts, our grads are primed to make a real difference in the world -- as policy shapers, dietitians, food product developers, physicians, and more. |

 Given our curriculum`s
comprehensive education in the basic sciences -- and its in-depth exploration
of nutrition and food science -- an NFS degree from UVM will open doors to
careers in the food, health and wellness industries. NFS alums
currently are working as community nutritionists, research and development
scientists at major food manufacturers, educators, and pharmaceutical sales
representatives.
Our curriculum`s strong science core is the perfect prep for graduate work
at research institutes, medical and dental schools. Interested in becoming a
physical therapist? Through our "3+3"
program, students complete all NFS requirements in 3 years and apply to
enter the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.
If your goal is to work as a nutritionist in a clinical setting, to counsel
individuals on how to improve their diets, or to consult for educational
institutions and corporations, you can combine the NFS major with a Dietetics major (many of the courses
overlap). An assessable faculty member guides you through the processing of
applying for the dietetic internship and registering for the exam that are
required to become a Registered Dietitian.
