The dietetics major is divided into preprofessional and professional components. As they complete all preprofessional courses, students may apply for admission into the professional phase of the coordinated program. Enrollment is limited in the professional phase. Dietetic students complete over 900 hours of required supervised practice experience in a wide variety of settings during the professional component of the program. Students wishing to transfer to UND should contact a faculty member for advisement early in the process.
Application is made in spring semester for admission the following fall.
To be considered for acceptance, students must have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.6 and have a grade of 'C' or better in all required science, foods, and nutrition courses. These academic standards must also be maintained throughout the professional phase of the program to progress and graduate. Additionally, a 'C' or better in all supervised practice experiences is required for progression and graduation. This specialized accrediting agency is recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education as a reliable authority for determining the quality of dietetics education programs.
