Welcome!

At Loma Linda University, we offer several program options leading to a Master’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics, with eligibility to sit for the registration exam upon completion. Our programs are designed to prepare competent, entry-level dietitians who can meet the needs of Seventh-day Adventist healthcare and educational institutions, as well as serve communities locally, nationally, and globally.

The Loma Linda Difference

Nutrition and Dietetics faculty members are Christian educators and experienced nutrition and dietetics professionals. We stand out from the rest as we are committed to graduating individuals who are well prepared to enter the field of nutrition and dietetics and practice compassionate, Whole Person Care. Just a few other unique and exceptional aspects of our programs include:   

  • Hands-on learning in our state-of-the art School of Allied Health Professions kitchen, as well as clinical experiences at our nationally ranked Level 1 Trauma center 
  • Faith-based academic experience that creates a safe learning environment for students to grow in their faith and spirituality
  • Mission and service opportunities that are local and international to enhance learning and serve others
