The Dietetics Program meets the American Dietetic Association’s Standards of Education and graduates are eligible to apply for an accredited internship or an approved supervised practice program. Students must complete either the internship or the supervised practice in order to qualify for certification as Registered Dietitians. After certification, the Registered Dietitian is eligible for positions in hospitals such as clinical dietitian or food service administrator; for positions in commercial food establishments such as restaurants, hotels, industrial facilities, schools, colleges, universities and the armed forces; and for positions in community health agencies.

The Student Dietetic Association provides an opportunity to meet dietetics professionals, learn about the profession and volunteer for pre-professional activities, as well as meet and interact with fellow dietetics students.
