---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Students who complete this concentration will meet the requirements for the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA). DPD is a term used by the American Dietetic Association to describe the program [fulfilling the academic component of membership in the society, as well as the eligibility requirements for the registration examination.] that satisfies the academic requirements for becoming a registered dietitian. Students must also complete a Dietetic Internship (DI) to be eligible for the registration examination.

Chemistry 1 and 2, or 5; and 50.

All of the following: Health and Nutrition Sciences 29, 41.1, 41.2, 47, 51, 52 or 63, 53.1, 54.1, 54.6, 54.7, 68, and 73.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because ADA requirements are subject to change, students who wish to become members of the ADA or registered dietitians should consult with the DPD program director in the department to determine minimum academic requirements. For the purpose of ADA verification all required courses for the degree must be completed with a grade of C or better.

Prospective health and nutrition sciences majors should consult a department counselor before choosing a program of study leading to a B.S. degree.
