Graduation Requirements

dietetics careersStudents must maintain grade point averages as previously described for admission. Prior to graduation, students must successfully complete a Dietetics Competency Examination. The Dietetics Competency Examination is designed to measure objectively essential knowledge, principles and applications required for the entry-level dietitian. It is given in the spring of the senior year. The exam is given as a part of the Dietetic Seminar class. The exam is designed to simulate the registration examination, therefore providing practice for the student dietitian.
