Accreditation
The Coordinated Program (CP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2190, Chicago, IL 60606; 312-899-5400.
This program provides students the opportunity to meet coursework requirements and pre-professional experiences (supervised practice) required for eligibility to take the Registration Examination for Dietitians to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Admission to this option does not require an undergraduate degree in nutrition; however, it does require completion of an undergraduate degree and the prerequisites for the M.S. in Health Sciences program. The program includes didactic coursework and supervised practice which has a general focus with an urban health emphasis.
Students have the option of thesis and non-thesis capstone options. The CP requires additional academic courses for students who enter the program prior to meeting the undergraduate coursework required for a DPD verification statement from a DPD program accredited by ACEND. At the completion of the degree, graduates receive a Master of Science in Health Sciences degree with a concentration in nutrition and a DPD verification statement that makes them eligible to take the Registration Examination for Dietitians.
