Courses are selected with the director's approval based on the student's goals from courses available. The first track, Track I, is designed primarily as a part-time evening and weekend program for the Registered Dietitian who is a current practitioner. The applicant should have completed the academic requirements for Registered Dietitian status. Without such course work, the student may be admitted on provisional status to complete the required courses concurrently with some graduate courses, or be advised to complete the deficient course work prior to beginning graduate study. This generalist program provides students with meaningful experiences at entry level competencies as well as exposure to several specialty areas within dietetic practice.
Students also further their education with graduate courses.
Completion of the master's degree is encouraged but not required for issuance of the verification statement. The program does not provide for extensive review of prerequisite knowledge prior to or during the experiences. Students who require a review of academic content may wish to contact the Director of the Coordinated Dietetic Program for information about an alternative route to becoming a Registered Dietitian. Dietetic Interns take one, 3-credit graduate course per semester along with the supervised practice courses. The 3-credit course is generally scheduled in the evening and on an occasional Saturday.
