Most registered dietitians are employed in hospitals, nursing homes, or other health-related facilities. Moderate growth in the dietetics profession is expected, especially in the areas of wellness, private practice, long-term care, and business. Admissions Coordinated Program in Dietetics Application to the program is made directly to the department in mid-January of each year. Contact the Department in early December for application information and deadlines. A department committee selects no more than 16 students to the coordinated program each year.
Enrollment is limited because of the supervised practice component of the program.
Additional selection criteria used by the committee include applicant submission of a written autobiography and submission of two comment forms from faculty or employers. At least two interviews with selection committee members are also required. All required courses are available at Buffalo State College. Transfer students may receive equivalent credit for classes completed elsewhere. Formal articulation agreements with some other institutions facilitate the transfer process.
