UB’s Clinical Nutrition MS w/ Dietetic Internship will be launching our new two-year future education model dietitian program – accepting students for Fall 2022 entry

Posted by Tim on May 24, 2021 in Academics, New Programs

Under the future education model, our program can now admit students with a bachelor’s degree in any major as long as they meet admissions requirements and have taken certain pre-requisite coursework. Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from a four-year college or university or its international equivalent with a 3.0 GPA or better. Students who have not completed all pre-requisite courses prior to submitting their application will still be considered for the program as long as no more than 2 pre-requisite courses are outstanding prior to the application deadline. Pre-requisites may be completed at most any regionally accredited 2- or 4-year institution. Basic science prerequisites must be taken within the past 10 years and nutrition courses must be taken within the past five years. The program no longer requires GRE scores.
