The undergraduate Nutrition and Dietetics Program is an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The recently revised curriculum prepares students for a career as a registered dietitian. Coursework includes a strong foundation in math and science. Nutrition and dietetics courses meet all competency areas established by ACEND. University and School of Health Sciences core course requirements are included in the curriculum, as well as the required Academic Service Learning or S-designated experiential nutrition coursework in the community and the Writing or W-designated course. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive a signed Verification Statement from the Program Director enabling them to enter post graduate 1) dietetic internship programs (supervised practice), 2) coordinated graduate programs (includes supervised practice), 3) future education graduate model programs, or 4) eligibility to sit for the national registration exam. As of January 1, 2024, all students will be required to complete a graduate degree in addition or combined with supervised practice to qualify them for the national registration exam and the registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) credential.
