91°µÍø

Students interested in a 91°µÍø graduate program with a dietetic internship are encouraged to review the admission requirements and contact the university and director of the dietetic internship with any additional questions. Prospective graduate students interested in also completing the DPD program requirements should work with their advisor and the Dietetics Program Director to design their academic program of study. For specific graduate program admission requirements students are directed to contact the Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health Graduate Program Director of Dietetic Internship through the 91°µÍø College of Education and Health Society.

Transfer Students

Undergraduate transfer students are encouraged to join the dietetics program by the end of their second year to ensure completion of the program within two to three years. Transfer students are advised to consult with the 91°µÍø Registrar’s Office to evaluate whether previous coursework will be accepted as part of degree requirements. During the evaluation by the Registrar’s Office university curriculum, it is the students’ responsibility to provide evidence of course compliance. Usually, this evidence includes the syllabi, course requirements, textbooks used, and course catalog descriptions for each individual course.

Post Baccalaureate Students

Post-baccalaureate students interested in the Dietetic concentration need a 2.0 GPA on coursework as dietetic students. Demonstration of prior academic success in the sciences (chemistry, biology, anatomy, and physiology) is preferred.

Transfer, returning, and post-baccalaureate students are required to meet with a Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health Academic Advisor upon acceptance into 91°µÍø. All students accepted into the dietetics concentration must follow the same set of criteria before acceptance into the program. Credit for previous coursework or substitution for prior work experience must be evaluated and assessed by the DPD Director. 

Transcript Evaluation

The 91°µÍø Academic Advising staff will meet with prospective transfer students and confer via email for planning purposes. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm which courses transfer as dietetic concentration requirements.

Students seeking credit for courses previously taken from institutions outside of 91°µÍø must provide the DPD director with a course syllabus, course outline, and record of the text used in the course in order to evaluate their transferability.

Credit for Prior Learning

If a student has a previous baccalaureate degree, certain courses may be waived. The Dietetics Program Director makes this decision.

International Students

International students must first refer to the website for information about eligibility to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in the USA. An international transcript evaluation is required for 91°µÍø Dietetics admission.
