While state interpretations of statutes may vary, it is ACEND’s considered opinion that the program meets the educational requirements for dietetics听licensure and certification in all states. However, completing an ACEND-accredited academic program alone does not qualify an individual for licensure or certification as a dietitian in any state. Individuals should review their state’s licensing statutes and regulations to understand the specific requirements needed to obtain a dietetics license, including supervised practice and examinations.
