Earn your master degree online

You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students

With the working Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in mind, the Masters in Science, Dietetics (MS, Dietetics) was designed for RDNs to complete a 1-year online graduate degree in high-demand, evidence-based coursework (including Experiential Learning in Advanced Medical Nutrition Therapy; Current Trends in Nutrition; Epidemiology; Experiential Learning in Weight Management and Diabetes; and Nutrition Counseling) to prepare for future practice. Focused selection of high-quality courses has allowed us to limit our master’s degree to 30 credits, which saves costs. Additionally, for those seeking the RDN credential, the MS, Dietetics completes the in-person didactic and required 1000 hour-supervised experiential learning for the Dietetics Combined Pathway (B.S. and M.S.). The graduate portion of Dietetics Combined Pathway has been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics as a Future Education Model graduate program.
