(upbeat music) - Our program goes all the way back to 1974.

We have a very strong network of alumni throughout the state.

We prepare students to change lives, prevent disease through the practical application of nutrition.

Students get experience in food service and clinical, long-term care.

They may even work with the local health department.

In their community nutrition class, we do outreach with local schools like here at Mount Pleasant High School or at White Pine Middle School in Saginaw, so they get a variety of different experiences throughout the program.

We're really excited about this brand new Allen Foundation Culinary Nutrition Center.

It's a state of the art facility.

It was a $1 million remodel that we completed in the fall of 2020, and this really gives us an opportunity where students can apply the lessons they learned in the classroom in a real life situation.

Their first stop after graduation of course, is the internship, but after that they could go to work for a hospital, a care facility.

They could go to work for professional sports teams or a food company, offering nutritional advice and guidance to those entities.
