The Graduate Certificate Dietetic Internship Program that you graduated from has reorganized into a future education model program. We have combined the dietetic internship with the Master of Professional Practice in Dietetics program to train future Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. We enrolled our first class of this integrated program in Fall 2021. Detailed information about this program can be found under the Future Students tab.
