Option 2 - Dietetic Internship & Graduate Certificate

Admission Requirements
To be eligible for this program, you must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, meet the DPD requirements of the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education and have relevant work or volunteer experience. You must participate in the computer matching process and take the GRE general test.

Supervised Practice
Among the strengths of our Dietetic Internship Program are the flexibility and wide variety of learning experiences offered to you. Rotations need not be limited to Northwest Ohio, depending on your individual interests and resources, though the majority of the rotations will be completed in this area.

The supervised practice program offers you a wide variety of learning experiences and shows the many options for career choices. You will complete an initial orientation period (Fall Semester) and then rotate through 13-15 sites and work with over 40 dietitians.

You also will have the opportunity to network with the dietetic professionals through participation in regional seminars, workshops and professional meetings. Program graduates have found employment in acute and long term care facilities, outpatient clinics, pharmaceutical sales, and community nutrition programs.
