The CPD program is unique in that it offers a joint degree - both a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Dietetics and Nutrition and a Master of Dietetic Studies (MDS) - with more than 1200 hours of supervised experiences.

COEHDannouncements UTSA FACULTY: THEN AND NOW CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF FACULTY EXCELLENCE This exhibition recognizes the legacy of UTSA faculty, who are central to advancing the university’s mission of teaching, research and service. Featured in the exhibit are early portraits of 78 of UTSA’s pioneer tenured/tenure-track professors hired between 1972 and 1978. These individuals, who either completed their careers at UTSA or are still employed by the university, helped shape the curriculum, set academic standards, and significantly impacted the lives of many students throughout UTSA’s 50-year history. We hope that this exhibit elicits fond memories of professors who have made a positive impact on your life. Each portrait was developed using a printmaking technique called plate lithography, in which the photograph was transferred onto an aluminum plate, then inked and sealed.
