What if you already have a BS degree in another field of study?

Individuals who have already obtained a college degree in another field of study often desire to become Registered Dietitians. In order to do this they must fulfill three requirements.

• First, they must complete the list of required courses shown below. Depending on the nature of their previous college work, they may have already completed some of these courses. Some individuals choose to complete a second degree in Foods and Nutrition, but this is not a requirement. For those who choose to get a second degree, it often requires completing a minimal number of credits beyond the dietetics courses.

• Second, they must complete an accredited ADA Internship.

• Finally, they need to need to successfully pass the registration examination administered by the ADA.

Below is the list of courses that an individual who already has a bachelor's degree must complete to be eligible for admission to the dietetic internship.
