Bachelor of Dietetics (B.Sc)

at University of Connecticut

The Coordinated Program in Dietetics combines the theory learned in the classroom with supervised practice in community, clinical, and food service sites off campus. This prepares students for the National Registered Dietitian Examination, which is taken upon graduation and is required of students in order to become registered dietitians. The Dietetics program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation/Approval for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association. Each undergraduate student completes more than 900 hours of supervised practice prior to graduation. In the Dietetics program, gaining experience in the field is required. It is important to participate in as much supervised practice as possible through the Coordinated Program and/or dietetic internships.
