Programs of Study

Programs for Students with Undergraduate Preparation in Nutrition

Students interested in the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist credential and a career in clinical nutrition/counseling who have received a Didactic Program in Dietetics Verification Statement should pursue the MS+DI. In this program, the MS must be completed before entry into the DI. Specific admission requirements are listed below. The 29-week, full-time DI begins in either June or January following completion of the MS program.

Students with undergraduate preparation in nutrition who have already earned the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist credential, or who are interested in graduate-level study in human nutrition, should pursue the two-semester MS degree program.

Program for Students Who Do Not Have Undergraduate Preparation in Nutrition

Students without undergraduate preparation in nutrition who are interested in obtaining an MS degree and credentialing as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) should apply to the DPD/MS+DI program. In this program, students maintaining satisfactory academic progress in coursework will receive the appropriate Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) Verification Statement and will be pre-selected into the DI. Specific admission requirements are listed below. The 29-week, full-time DI begins in January or June following completion of the five-semester DPD/MS program.

All programs prepare graduates to critically evaluate and implement the results of current research, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Students study with faculty involved in research, education, administration, professional practice, communication, and consulting. As part of their program, students develop a research proposal and complete an individually designed practicum. Past practicum sites have included a large urban hospital, as part of a nutrition support team; a private practice focused on nutrition for athletes; a clinical research center at a large teaching hospital; an outpatient cardiovascular clinic at a suburban teaching hospital; and the offices of a nationally distributed nutrition newsletter.

The DI has clinical sites at major teaching and community hospitals in the greater Boston area. Please be advised that students may need a car to get to a clinical site. The clinical sites provide excellent opportunities for students to observe and participate in a wide variety of specialties, such as nutrition support, pediatrics, oncology, nephrology, cardiology, diabetes, surgical care, outpatient counseling, food service, and management.

Depending on their program, graduates pursue careers in a wide variety of settings. Clinical environments could include medical and surgical services of hospitals, outpatient clinics, cardiac rehabilitation centers, and private practices. Graduates could also work in the fitness/wellness industry, the pharmaceutical industry, public health, or as consultants to professional sports teams, corporations, and restaurants.
