Application Procedure | Requirements
Application Procedure:
To be eligible for admission to the Dietetic Internship program, the student must meet the following requirements:
- Document a minimum grade point average of 2.9 on a 4.0 scale for courses required in the major and a minimum of a "C" grade for any course required for the undergraduate dietetics/nutrition major.
- Fulfill the current academic (didactic) requirements for Registered Dietitian eligibility through completion of an American Dietetic Association accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). A signed Intent to Complete form and subsequent Verification Statement of Completion form from the undergraduate program attended should be included with the application. Didactic requirements will normally have been completed no more than two years prior to applying.
- Comply with all computer match procedures. The Mount Mary College Dietetic Internship participates in the computer-matching program for internship placement through D&D Digital Systems. The fee is currently $50.00, but is subject to change. To apply for the Dietetic Internship (DI), students must comply with the DI Admission Standards and Requirements. Materials for computer matching may be requested from your undergraduate program director or D&D Digital Systems, 515-292-0490.
- Submit applications by February 15 of each year (or the date scheduled by ADA if it is later). Students will be notified at the April match date of the outcome of their application. Please refer to the Application Checklist for detailed submission requirements.
- Work experience related to health care and/or food service is highly preferred, but not required.
The DI Selection Committee selects participants based on academic performance, work experience, the letter of application, and letters of recommendation.
Once matched to Mount Mary’s internship, dietetic interns must also successfully complete a background information disclosure that is in compliance with the Wisconsin Caregiver Law. The criminal records check may affect eligibility to participate in the required experiences and thus affect internship completion.
