Description
The nutrition and dietetics major includes all courses required for the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). The Simmons University Didactic Program in Dietetics is currently granted accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Chicago, IL 60606, 312- 899-0040 ext. 5400. It should be noted that fulfilling the courses required for the Didactic Program in Dietetics is only one step in the credentialing process for dietetics practitioners. In addition to a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, the undergraduate DPD completion must be followed by the successful completion of an accredited supervised practice program (e.g., a dietetic internship program (DIP) and a master's degree (or higher, in any field), to ensure eligibility to take the RD examination. The application to the DIP is a separate process, and completion of the DPD in no way guarantees acceptance into a DIP. The dietetics internship application process is competitive and not all applicants are accepted.
