There are three major steps to
becoming a Registered Dietetian (RD):
1. Obtain a BS in Dietetics from an accredited dietetics
program
2. Complete an accredited post-graduate dietetic internship
3. Write the national R.D. exam
The entire process normally takes 5 years to complete but
may be longer depending on individual circumstances. Acceptance
into an accredited dietetic internship is competitive based
on undergraduate GPA, work/volunteer experience, and recommendations
from employers and faculty members. Faculty advisors and the
Director of the Dietetics program work closely with students
throughout the program to help them achieve their professional
goal of becoming an R.D.
