If you are considering going on to graduate school in nutrition or some other field, start doing your research no later than your junior year. Here are some resources to get you started. You should plan to take the Graduate Record Exam (G.R.E.) early in your senior year. Applications are due during the fall/spring semester of your senior year. Talk to the various faculty in the department to get their advice on this process.
