Dietetics Program
The Cornell University Dietetic Program has had a long and distinguished history, and graduates of the program have gone on to leading positions in the field throughout the country. It prepares future leaders for evidence-based practice in community, clinical and management settings and in translational research to inform that practice.
The Dietetics program at Cornell includes two components:
- An undergraduate program in dietetics
- A dietetic internship, which provides students with the coursework necessary to complete an internship or Approve Pre-Professional Practice (AP4) program.
Both programs are accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Dietetics Education. Students successfully completing didactic program requirements at Cornell are issued a Verification Statement.
Upon completion of a Dietetic Internship or AP4 program, students are eligible to take the Registration Examination of the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and become a Registered Dietitian.
