• The program is using the on-line centralized internship application, DICAS.

The on-line application must be completed for our program by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on February 15, 2011.  The fee to use DICAS is $40 for the first application submitted and $20 for each additional application.

- Why do you want to enter the dietetics profession?
