Program Highlights

Graduates from any bachelor’s degree program can apply for this entry-level master’s program provided they meet the prerequisites (see admission criteria). Our students will be prepared to meet a growing demand for well-educated Registered Dietitian Nutritionists who have expertise in evidence-based nutrition care.

We offer:

  • Innovative demonstration master’s degree program that integrates 15 credits of supervised experiential learning (SEL) which includes rotations in clinical, community, and food systems settings. Didactic coursework includes 32 credits in a combination of hybrid, online, and face to face environments.
  • 47-credit program spanning 4 semesters which includes courses and SEL.
  • Students will be placed in local (Rio Grande Valley) sites for SEL.
  • Maximum class size is 16 students per cohort (yearly).
  • Upon completion of the program and university requirements, students earn a Master of Science in Dietetics degree.
  • Students will be eligible to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s Credentialing Examination for Dietitian Nutritionists after meeting both program and competency completion requirements.

 


Outcome data is available upon request.
