The process to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is a 3-step process that includes completing an accredited undergraduate program, getting accepted into and completing an accredited dietetic internship along with a master’s degree, and successfully passing the registration examination for dietitians. A master’s degree alone does not allow one to work as a dietitian nutritionist.

In addition to the coursework, students must also complete a dietetic internship that is integrated with the master’s degree. Students must also complete a capstone research project and take written and oral comprehensive examinations.

Internships that affiliate with Southern Miss have their own fees. Questions about fees related to the internship need to be addressed by the internship director.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation is the largest provider of dietetic scholarships to deserving students at all levels of study http://www.eatrightfoundation.org/Foundation/scholarships/. You can also find more information about scholarships on our scholarship page.
