Master of Science - Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Professional Program

The Master of Science and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Professional Program (MS/RDN Professional Program) is an Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) graduate-program that prepares students to sit for the Registration Examination for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN Exam), administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).

Through coursework and supervised clinical experiences, students are equipped with the skills and knowledge to serve communities through the promotion of optimal nutrition, health and well-being. The need for dietetics practitioners is expected to increase as the health care community places a greater emphasis on the benefits of healthy eating, disease prevention and medical nutrition therapy. Upon successful completion of the MS/RDN Professional Program, students will receive a Master of Science degree and students are eligible to sit for the RDN Exam. Upon passing the RDN Exam, a student will become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).
