If you have earned, or are currently in the process of earning, DPD verification through an ACEND accredited didactic program in dietetics, you can apply to join our CP as a graduate student to earn an M.A. and complete the internship hours. DPD graduates complete our program over five semesters. You may review the curriculum guide for DPD graduates here.
Our program accepts applications through the Dietetic Internship Centralized Application System (DICAS) online internship system. The application portal opens on October 4th, 2022. After that date, you may submit your application for a summer 2023 start. We are not part of the D&D match.
Although our preferred deadline is March 15th, applications are reviewed, and acceptances are offered on a rolling basis. So, if you are interested in joining us – don’t delay, apply today!
Our general requirements are listed below. All application materials must be submitted through DICAS.
