The versatility of the program makes it suitable to meet the graduate needs of numerous individuals including those with limited food or nutrition undergraduate training, those already with a registered dietetics credential but who wish to obtain an advanced degree, educators who wish to obtain training in food and nutrition, or those who require additional coursework in order to apply for a dietetics internship.
