The Department of Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences offers three Bachelor of Science degrees: Food and Nutrition, Exercise Science, and Athletic Training. There are two majors under the food and nutrition degree: Dietetics and Food and Nutrition Science. Students majoring in exercise science earn a degree in exercise science, and students majoring in athletic training earn a degree in athletic training.
The purpose of the dietetics major is to provide the foundation knowledge and skills required for the didactic component of entry-level dietetics education. This didactic program in dietetics (DPD) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995; (312) 899-0040 (ext. 5400). Graduates of the DPD program that earn a DPD verification statement are eligible to apply to graduate school and/or post-baccalaureate, accredited dietetic internships. The dietetic internship, which provides the competencies for the supervised practice component of dietetics education, is in turn required for eligibility to take the national Registration Examination for Dietitians. Careers are available for dietitians in clinical, research, community, food service, management, and educational settings and consulting. To earn a DPD verification statement, students must complete a degree in dietetics with an FSU grade point average of 3.0 or better and a grade of B or better in the following courses: DIE 4244, DIE 4310, FSS 4315, HUN 3403 and HUN 4296. Students who do not earn an FSU grade point average of 3.0 or higher or do not earn grades of "B" or better in the previous courses will not receive a DPD verification statement and will not be eligible to apply for a CADE approved internship.
The food and nutrition science major has a strong science base that prepares students for job opportunities in the food industry, government agencies, and careers in the medical field as well as graduate study in the field.
The exercise science major prepares students for graduate study in exercise physiology, physical therapy, and other health fields, including medical school, as well as positions as personal trainers and health fitness instructors with both hospital-based wellness programs and corporate fitness programs.
The athletic training degree program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and prepares students to take the Board of Certification examination. A major in athletic training is offered to students interested in working with injury prevention, recognition, immediate care, rehabilitation, health care management, and professional development in a sports medicine environment. Athletic training students have opportunities to gain clinical experience in a variety of sports settings, both on and off campus. Access to the athletic training program is limited by restricting the number of students admitted annually to match the available resources. The admission requirements and procedures for the athletic training program at Florida State University include common entry indicators. The common indicators included in each student's portfolio will be ranked as follows:
In order to be eligible for the interview, the student must complete an application portfolio that includes: completion of Technical Standards for Admission, lab skill testing scores, clinical observation log sheets, a resume, two letters of recommendation, official copies of all post-secondary transcripts, SAT scores, and current enrollment in or completion of PET 1638.
Composite applicant scores, based on the above indicators, are calculated and ranked. The number of athletic training applicants admitted is determined by available vacancies created by graduation. The top-ranking students are then admitted to fill the vacancies. The Athletic Training Education Program includes a strict didactic and clinical course progression. New student admission is completed by May 31 of each year. New athletic training students enroll in the first block of courses the following Fall semester. Community college students are required to complete the same application process as resident students. Those who are formally admitted will be required to complete a minimum of six semesters to complete all clinical rotations. Please see the Athletic Training Education Program Web site for retention policies.
For students not subject to mapping, as a prerequisite for entry into each undergraduate major, students must achieve a grade of "B–" or higher in HUN 1201 and a grade of "C–" or better in any course work required for the individual major.
In order to graduate with a degree in food and nutrition, exercise sciences, or athletic training, students must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and a grade of "C–" or better in all required courses, with the exception of PET 3322, in which a grade of "C+" or higher is required and HUN 1201 in which a grade of B- or higher is required. Athletic Training students must have a "B-" or better in all Athletic Training courses. Students who have not met the academic requirement of "C–" or better in required courses cannot be admitted into the major until that requirement is satisfied.
All undergraduates at Florida State University must demonstrate basic computer skills competency prior to graduation. As necessary computer competency skills vary from discipline to discipline, each major determines the courses needed to satisfy this requirement. Undergraduate majors in athletic training, exercise science, and food and nutrition science satisfy this requirement by earning a grade of "C–" or higher in CGS 2060, CGS 2064, or BSC 2010L, if BSC 2010L is taken at FSU. Undergraduate majors in dietetics satisfy this requirement by earning a grade of "C–" or higher in CGS 2060 or CGS 2064.
The State of Florida has identified common program prerequisites for this University degree program. Specific prerequisites are required for admission into the upper-division program and must be completed by the student at either a community college or a state university prior to being admitted to this program. Students may be admitted into the University without completing the prerequisites, but may not be admitted into the program.
At the time this document was published, some common program prerequisites were undergoing revision. Please visit http://facts23.facts.org/navigation/detail_ext/cpp_intro.do?pageId=060304 for a current list of state-approved prerequisites.
The following lists the common program prerequisites or their substitutions necessary for admission into this upper-division degree program:
Note: PET X302C, PCB X702, PCB X703, PCB X704, BSC X086, or APK X105 are acceptable substitutes.

To complete requirements for these degrees the following are required: (1) liberal studies requirements; (2) general graduation requirements for the University; (3) the preceding college core requirements; and (4) specific requirements for the major chosen. Additional courses may be required to complete the one hundred twenty semester hours required for the degrees. A minimum grade of "C–" or better must be earned for all required courses, except for HUN 1201, which requires a grade of "B–" or higher, and PET3322, which requires a grade of C+ or higher.
