Offered in conjunction with eCollege.com, this associate degree program with emphasis in dietary management was developed to reach out to more students nationwide. College officials say they hope the associate degree course in turn will lead to new opportunities for students to pursue their bachelor's and master's degrees on-line through other universities. The program is designed to prepare individuals to work in a foodservice management setting, or to provide advanced education for CDMs. Curriculum includes courses in sanitation and management of food systems, nutrition therapy, and human resources management. Professionals who have achieved Dietary Manager training from other educational institutions may submit documentation for transcript evaluation towards the associate degree. For more information, visit the website at www.bartonline.org or call 877-620-6606.
