Coordinated Program in Nutrition/Dietetics Entrance Requirements
To remain in the major, dietetics students are required to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in their freshman and sophomore years. At the end of the sophomore year, students apply for entrance into the Coordinated Program in Nutrition/Dietetics. In addition to the requirement of a minimum GPA of 3.0 (4.0 scale), students must provide references, an essay, and a complete application form. An interview with the Program Admissions Committee is also required. Qualified Seton Hill students are given preference over students transferring from other institutions.
Transfer and post-baccalaureate students must provide the Seton Hill's Nutrition/Dietetics Program director and registrar with official transcripts of previous college work in addition to the other application materials.
If the following courses were not taken within ten years of admittance to Seton Hill, post-baccalaureate and transfer students will be required to retake the course or will be required to achieve a minimum of seventy percent on a challenge exam.
- Biochemical Principles
- Human Anatomy and Physiology I
- Human Anatomy and Physiology II
- Principles of Nutrition
- Food Science and Technology II
A student may earn credit for supervised practice experiences NT326 Food Service Systems Management I Supervised Practice, and partial credit for NNT310 Health Promotion and Nutrition Education Supervised Practice and NT415 Medical Nutrition Therapy I Supervised Practice by completing a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Portfolio that successfully documents prior learning. The student must provide evidence of achievement of supervised practice competencies. The instructor will provide competencies and requirements for specific supervised practices. In order to be considered eligible to complete a PLA, the student must have worked for a minimum of one year in a position or positions being used to document prior learning.
After successfully completing all requirements of the Coordinated Program in Nutrition/Dietetics, the post-baccalaureate student will be awarded a Certificate in Dietetics or a second bachelor's degree depending on the number of credits required for program completion. Students who wish to earn a second bachelor's degree should consult Seton Hill's registrar for credit requirements.
The Seton Hill University Coordinated Program in Nutrition/Dietetics adheres to the Seton Hill nondiscrimination and equal opportunity policy which can be found on the inside cover of the University Catalog. It reads as follows:
Seton Hill University is committed to a faculty and staff that reflects the racial and gender diversity of the student body; women and minorities are encouraged to apply. In addition to the commitment to employ, advance in employment, and otherwise treat qualified employees and applicants for employment or admission on a non-discriminatory basis, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, veteran status, or disability, the University is committed to a policy of affirmative action.
If an applicant or student believes that his/her rights have not been protected, the student is encouraged to initiate the grievance procedure to resolve the situation. See Seton Hill University Catalog for further information. Use the search function to search for Grievances.
Financial Aid
Seton Hill is dedicated to finding and keeping the students who will benefit most from a Seton Hill education, and will work with potential students to create a financial aid package tailored to their needs. As a result, the University's financial aid program - composed of scholarships, grants, loans, work-study jobs and federal assistance - makes a Seton Hill education possible for most qualified students.
Traditional undergraduate students at Seton Hill University are often eligible for both need-based aid and merit-based aid. Need-based aid is awarded based on the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); merit-based aid (including a wide variety of scholarships) is awarded to students for achievements in academics, the arts, athletics, leadership projects and community service.
Students enrolled in the Coordinated Program in Nutrition/Dietetics are eligible to apply for the Josephine Mary Cipriany Patrick Scholarship as well as scholarships offered by the American Dietetic Association Foundation.
Post-baccalaureate students studying in the Nutrition/Dietetics Program are eligible for a tuition discount.
Please contact Seton Hill's Office of Undergraduate Admissions or Financial Aid Office for more information about current tuition costs and financial aid opportunities.
