The School of Nutrition and Dietetics aims at the comprehensive training of Dietitian Nutritionists committed to the progress of food and nutrition science and the promotion of healthy lifestyles that facilitate the biological, psychological, and social development of humans.

It promotes in its academic community the appropriation of values that project the sense of institutional and professional belonging, leadership, human sensitivity, and critical thinking required for the construction of knowledge through teaching, research, and social projection.

As expressed in the institutional mission “the recognition of challenges and the construction of solutions to own needs and the environment” is given thorough training for research and the participation of students in research groups. The commitment to the preservation of the environment is highlighted, where the Biology program is the standard-bearer of this institutional purpose, which is evidenced in the degree works that investigate, protect and promote the biological diversity of the region and the country.
