United
Tribes Technical College offers the Nutrition
and Foodservice Program
which provides theory and practice in wellness, food science,
food safety, and community nutrition.
The NF program provides theory and
hands-on experience in healthful food preperation, food science, food
safety, wellness and community nutrition. Students are advised to follow
one of two degree tracks. The tracks focus either on nutrition and wellness
or food service/culinary arts depending on the individual student's
interest. In the fall of the second year, students are encouraged to
write a national exam, which will allow them to be credentialed as Certified
Dietary Managers (CDM). Although the degree prepares students for employment,
they are also prepared to successfully transfer into programs of advanced
training to become a dietitian or chef. The NF program prepares students
for employment with school lunch, WIC, diabetes/wellness programs, hospital
or elderly care foodservice, and casino kitchens or private restaurants.
Many American Indian people
have health problems relating to poor nutrition and a lack of knowledge
regarding food selection and preperation. By graduating from UTTC's
Nutrition and Foodservice Program, students will be professionally trained
with food preperation and nutrition education skills. These skills will
allow them to make a positive impact on these health concerns, ultimately
improving the health and balance of life for American Indian people.
