Feasibility Study for the Offering of BS Nutrition and
Dietetics
INTRODUCTION
The demand for higher knowledge on health and nutrition

remains not only a fact but a necessity. Acquired and improved
data on health and dietetics is essential to one’s physical and
mental well-being.
Nutritionist and Dietician profession was officially
recognized as it is in 1917. Although, the discipline on
nutrition and dietetics started beforehand. The use of diet in
disease treatment was already an old if not an ancient practice,
however, it relies more on trial and error rather than scientific
knowledge.
As much as Northwestern Mindanao State College of Science
and Technology (NMSCST) is moving towards this endeavor through
its vision that it is committed to provide and “…foster a
culture of innovation and sustainability on the quality of lives
in the community it serves.”
With the ever-increasing concerns on health and nutrition
and other issues affiliated therein, not to mention its
considerable adverse impact on the overall health to the
Philippine nation, the School or Arts and Sciences endeavors to
offer a new undergraduate program, Bachelor of Science in
Nutrition and Dietetics. With this, the School aims to conduct a
study for desirability, marketability, and acceptability of the
program’s offering.
The produced graduates of the program are prepared to work
in many health-related settings, including hospitals, clinics,
nursing homes, cafeterias, and even state and for local
governments whose function goes in line with health and
nutrition. This is a four-year program that develops students to
be globally competitive professionals, with relevant competencies
in three areas of nutrition: hospital, community, and food
service, integrating academic and clinical knowledge and skills
through excellence in teaching and the development of proper
values and attitudes, in the exercise of the profession to answer
the changing needs of the society.
The program will serve as a training ground for future
Dietitians and Nutritionists that are well versed and grounded
both in theory and in values to which the discipline is
concerned.

Strengths. The School of Arts and Sciences is equipped with

faculties with high credentials ranging from Master’s to
Doctorate’s degree from their respected field of discipline. This
ensures fluid and effective teaching coupled with conducive
classrooms and other facilities the College could offer.
Moreover, the location of the College allows aspiring students
not only from Misamis Occidental but also from neighboring
provinces such as Zamboanga del Sur and Lanao areas. In all, a
good service and a maximum transfer of learning will be offered
given a peaceful and conducive environment which is true at
NMSCST.
Weaknesses. The College itself is still on the process of

improving its system to achieve global standards. Though prior to
its implementation, a careful and thorough preparation is made,
the possible challenges that may come still cannot be projected
unless a run of a year or more is implemented.
Opportunities. This program is offered to cater
teachers/instructors/professors from both private and public
institutions in the region to design and develop creative
curriculum content, instructional models and learning systems to
address the individual student’s needs. Thus, this program helps
teachers facing new challenges in education especially in this
increasingly globalized and tech- heavy world.
Threats. NMSCST is one the HEI’s in the Province of Misamis

Occidental where on its way to the development of establishing
quality standards. Other Higher Education Institutions also
flourish and thrive an aggravating strong competition and are
also offering the same program which are considered as threat.
Yet, an edge that counters over them aside from the quality
education to be catered is NMSCST’s lower and affordable fees.
