Dietetic Internship Program
Preparing registered dietitians
The mission of the OSU Department of Nutritional Sciences Dietetic Internship Program is to advance health and quality of life of individuals and communities by preparing entry-level registered dietitians for competent practice through education, discovery and application of scientific knowledge. We are a combined program, which means students earn a master’s degree while completing their internship.
Nationally accredited
Our program has been granted accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2190, Chicago, IL, 60606-6995, 312-899-0040 ext. 5400, until 2028 to accept up to 24 interns per year.
*Please note that program outcomes data are available upon request.

Application to the OSU Dietetic Internship Program is a four-part process, which includes completing an application using the Dietetic Internship Centralized Application System (DICAS) and being accepted to an approved master’s degree program.
