Colleges / universities in the Philadelphia area with a fitness / nutrition / dietician programs?

I'm thinking about going back to school to follow fitness and nutrition, but have been removed from the academy for quite some time and have no idea what schools in the Philadelphia area offering good programs in this field. Is anyone aware of what schools in the Philadelphia area worth looking into?

Sorry, I do not know too many schools in the Philadelphia area. I've been out of academia for a while. But I do have a thought I'd share with you, if you do not mind. 99% of all colleges and universities offer a degree in Physical Education. Why not find that, with a specialization in nutrition. Believe me, I'm trying to be critical, but just practice. I think after 4 years of college, finding a job in the field of nutrition would only be enhanced if you had PhsEd back up. I think the two are a perfect marriage and will go far with it. Good Luck.
