The programs in the Department of Hotel, Restaurant, Institution Management and Dietetics prepare students to enter the professions of hotel and restaurant management, foodservice management, and dietetics.
The department offers a bachelor of science degree in dietetics and a bachelor of science degree in hotel and restaurant management. Two programs, the coordinated program in dietetics and the didactic program in dietetics, lead to the bachelor of science degree in dietetics.
Coordinated program in dietetics
The program is currently granted continuing accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation/Approval for Dietetics Education of The American Dietetic Association, 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312-899-5400.
Senior students who have been admitted to the supervised practice phase of the program gain management experience in Housing and Dining Services and community food service operations. Seniors also spend one semester in health care facilities where they work directly with practicing dietitians in clinical and community nutrition practice settings.
Supervised practice sites are established in numerous locations in Kansas and neighboring states.
Application for admission to the coordinated program in dietetics should occur during the third semester before the anticipated date of graduation. Applications are due by Feb- ruary 15 for fall semester admission and by September 25 for spring semester admission. Criteria for admission to the senior year are:
1. Have an overall minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. No grade less than a C is allowed in any natural sciences or professional studies courses.
2. Submit verification of a minimum of 400 hours of dietetics-related work experience, either paid or volunteer. Documentation must include inclusive dates of the experience, name and address of facility, brief description of job duties and experiences, number of hours, and a letter (on letterhead) from the supervisor verifying the information submitted. Contact information for the supervisor (phone number, e-mail address) also is required. The work experience must include:
3. Submit one official recommendation form from an individual who is acquainted with the student's knowledge of food, nutrition and food service management, and the student's work history and work ethic.
4. Complete an interview with the admissions committee for the coordinated program in dietetics. Dates for interviews are announced each semester.
Ongoing evaluation of the student's didactic and performance-based learning is an important component in the coordinated program in dietetics. Evaluation is conducted by K-State faculty and preceptors in supervised practice facilities. Students not performing at acceptable levels may be counseled out of the program.
Didactic program in dietetics
Supervised practice experience, required for eligibility to take the national Registration Examination for Dietitians, must be obtained by the student after graduation through an accredited post-baccalaureate dietetic internship.
Dietetics
Two programs are available in dietetics: Program I is the coordinated program in dietetics, and Program II is the didactic program in dietetics. See information earlier in this section.
Professional courses in both dietetics options may be taken through the Division of Continuing Education using a variety of technologies. Course development is ongoing. For further information, contact the Department of Hotel, Restaurant, Institution Management and Dietetics at 785-532-5564 (www.ksu.edu/humec/hrimd) or the Division of Continuing Education at 785-532-5566 (www.dce.ksu.edu).
Hotel and restaurant management
The hotel and restaurant management program has been accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration.
The mission of the program is to prepare students for professional careers in hospitality management by providing theory-based instruction and practical experience.
The program provides students with a broad liberal education, an understanding of business administration (business minor), a solid foundation of professional courses in both hotel and foodservice operations, and hands-on experience in the hospitality industry. Students are required to complete 400 hours of work experience in the hotel or restaurant industry prior to a 400-hour field experience for academic credit.
Students apply concepts learned in the classroom to actual work situations. On-campus facilities include a quantity food production laboratory, Housing and Dining Services, and the K-State Student Union foodservices. Students gain valuable experience in commercial properties under the supervision of managers and faculty supervisors.
The hotel and restaurant management program prepares students for managerial careers in the hospitality industry. See information earlier in this section.
