Required for Dietetic Internship track.
The Master of Science degree in Nutrition (non-thesis track) with Dietetic Internship requires a minimum of 34 semester hours. It will serve as an additional track for the MS Nutrition non-thesis track within the department. Students who successfully complete this program will be eligible to sit for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist qualifying examination. The program will provide academic work and field work (practicum) to prepare future Registered Dietitian Nutritionists.
There are three graduate degrees outside of Nutrition that students can utilize for the required Master's Degree to be eligible for the Dietetic Internship. The three options are MEd in Adult Education, MS Hospitality Management, and MS Exercise, Performance, and Health Optimization. Each of these options will allow the Dietetic Internship practicum course (NTRI 7010) to serve as an elective course within the program.
