Didactic Program in Dietetics, Certificate

新澳门六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 didactic program in dietetics, offered at the Doisy College of Health Sciences, prepares you to become a registered dietitian/nutritionist. You can still satisfy the requirements to gain eligibility for the program if听you have a degree in a different area of study.

Curriculum Overview

SLU鈥檚 didactic program in dietetics (DPD) enrolls students who have already obtained an undergraduate degree in an alternate field and are pursuing a career on the path to becoming a registered dietitian/nutritionist.

Careers
