Do you want to become a Registered Dietitian?

The MS-Didactic Program in Dietetics Track (MS-DPD) and the Accelerated Dietitian Nutritionist Track (MS-ADNT) are bothÌýdesigned for students holding an undergraduate degree in a science-related field who have a dream of becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).

MS-Didactic Program in Dietetics
The MS-DPD program is designed for undergraduate students holding a BS degree with or without a major in food & nutrition looking to obtain a DPD Verification Statement to enter into a Dietetic Internship.
