This curriculum provides advanced academic training leading to an MS degree for students who also seek the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential.
In order to become a Registered Dietitian, you must complete an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). Please note: you do not need to complete a DPD before applying to the 40-credit Clinical Nutrition master's. DPD verification (or Declaration of Intent) from an ACEND-accredited program is a prerequisite. Learn more about the DPD.
