Overview

Food and Nutrition from The University of Alabama offers two routes to registration as a dietitian: a didactic program in dietetics (DPD) and a coordinated program in dietetics (CPD), both of which are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Quick Facts:

The DPD prepares students to apply for dietetic internships in order to be eligible to take the registration examination for dietitians. Students may be eligible to apply to the CPD their junior year to combine both didactic and supervised practice experiences to be eligible to sit for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist exam upon completion of the CPD requirements and a master’s degree. A third option, the nutrition sciences concentration, is designed for students who plan to attend medical school or other advanced health professions program.
Students who have completed 90 hours of undergraduate work with a 3.7 institutional GPA overall are eligible to apply to the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP.) If accepted, then up to 12 graduate credit hours of the 30 hour Master's program could be taken as cross-listed courses or would substitute for required undergraduate coursework while finishing the undergraduate degree. Any coursework taken in this manner would apply toward both the undergraduate degree and a master's degree at The University of Alabama
