Overview
Do you want to help people be healthy with food? Professionals use the science of nutrition to assist people of all backgrounds and ages to optimize health. Dietitians make a difference in people’s lives by being change-agents anywhere there are people and food – in hospitals and clinics, schools, non-profit organizations, government, the food industry, and much more.
The Coordinated Program (CP) is recognized as an accelerated program resulting in both a bachelor’s and master’s degree.
Students complete:
- Three years of prerequisites. This is considered the pre-dietetics sequence.
- Two years in the Coordinated Program in Dietetics.
Admittance to this program is a selective process. It is not a stand-alone master’s program or designed for individuals who already have their RDN, but may accommodate people with prior degrees.
