Distance Program

The Distance Dietetic Internship is a nine-month program that provides 10 hours of graduate credit through the internship and supervised practice experiences during rotations in Clinical, Community, and Food Service.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) will require a minimum of a master’s degree to be eligible to take the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).

Program Overview

The program prepares students to be competent entry-level registered dietitian nutritionists and lifelong learners in the community by providing a variety of opportunities to increase their capacity for inquiry, logical thinking, critical analysis, synthesis, and leadership as they apply theory to practice. Individuals will develop skills in the areas of clinical nutrition, community nutrition, and food service management. It is intended for the distance dietetic internship to be completed during or after the online MS in clinical or community nutrition.

As a student in the distance dietetic internship, you will have the flexibility to create your experience anywhere in the United States with the approval of the program. The distance dietetic internship program has developed relationships with preceptors across the nation to help support you as you build your supervised practice schedule.

This distance dietetic internship is approved to match 60 interns. The program may preselect applicants who are already taking graduate courses in the department.

The program uses the pre-select application process to accept students already enrolled in the online MS in clinical and community nutrition. If additional openings are available, the program will use the online centralized internship application, Dietetic Internship Centralized Application Services (DICAS). Acceptance into the distance dietetic internship is contingent on acceptance into the online MS in clinical and community nutrition.

Current Students

Current interns.

The DI is designed to meet or exceed each of the Competencies/Learning Outcomes for a Dietetic Internship Program, as established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Completion of the University of Illinois distance DI Program fulfills all CDR requirements for supervised practice hours in order to take the Registration Exam.

The DI Handbook (pdf) contains information on the program structure, expectations, policies, and procedures.

Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics

All interns are required to follow the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2009; 109:1461-1467

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and its credentialing agency, the Commission on Dietetic Registration, believe it is in the best interest of the profession and the public it serves to have a Code of Ethics in place that provides guidance to dietetics practitioners in their professional practice and conduct. Dietetics practitioners have voluntarily adopted a Code of Ethics to reflect the values and ethical principles guiding the dietetics profession and to outline commitments and obligations of the dietetics practitioner to client, society, self, and the profession.

The Ethics Code applies in its entirety to members of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics who are Registered Dietitians (RDs) or Dietetic Technicians, Registered (DTRs). Except for sections solely dealing with the credential, the Code applies to all members of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics who are not RDs or DTRs. Except for aspects solely dealing with membership, the Code applies to all RDs and DTRs who are not members of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. All of the aforementioned are referred to in the Code as "dietetics practitioners." By accepting membership in The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and/or accepting and maintaining Commission on Dietetic Registration credentials, members of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Commission on Dietetic Registration credentialed dietetics practitioners agree to abide by the Code.

During the DI, interns enroll in FSHN 590 Dietetic Internship I in the fall semester and FSHN 591 Dietetic Internship II during the spring semester. Course information can be found on Illinois Compass.

The objective of the FSHN 590 and 591 lectures and supervised practice is to equip interns with the following knowledge and skills:

  • Integration of fundamentals of biological and physical sciences, theories of culture and behavior, learning, management, and social interaction as they relate to human health.
  • Application of the concepts of human biological, social, and psychological development to health and disease.
  • Application of administrative and clinical expertise in hospital-based and community settings.
  • Active enlistment of current research techniques and findings in administrative, clinical, and community areas of practice.
  • Eligibility to sit for the Registration Examination of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
  • Preparation to function as entry-level registered dietitians and ultimately become leaders in the profession of dietetics.

Supervised Practice

Distance interns will complete supervised practice sites on M-Th or M-F, depending on the location of the site. The DI program is full-time, beginning in August and ending in May each year. The program:

Rotation Sites

As a student enrolled in the distance dietetic internship program, it is the responsibility to secure their own supervised practice sites and have these approved by the program director no later than March of the year you are planning to start supervised practice.

Please review the minimum site requirements accessed here.

Internship Graduation Requirements

Students will be eligible for the registration exam after:

  • Completion of rotations with a minimum of a satisfactory rating.
  • Completion of graduate program requirements and deposition of a thesis.
  • Receipt of an AND Verification Statement from the Internship Director following completion of rotations and deposition of a thesis. Completion of the graduate program is required to receive a verification statement.
  • Completion of the Intern Exit Packet materials to prove exam eligibility. This packet will be distributed to interns ~1 month prior to the end of the internship. Students will receive confirmation from Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) when all forms have been received and the student is eligible to take the registration examination.

Internship Policies and Procedures

The University of Illinois DI has established a set of policies and procedures to direct the administration of the program and to delineate the rights of dietetic interns and the expectations of behavior within the internship. All policies and procedures are fully described in the Policies and Procedures (pdf) .

Prospective Students

Who can apply?

The University of Illinois DI Program is accredited to accept a maximum of 60 interns per year and is restricted to students who have earned at least a bachelor's degree and DPD verification statement from an accredited school. If you are planning to complete the DI, please email Dr. Jessica Madson, so that she is aware of your interest and can set an appointment to meet with you. At that time, she will discuss your timing of application to the DI.

Applicants are required to provide a Verification Statement (complete or from an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD)). In addition, DI applicants are expected to have completed volunteer or work experience in clinical nutrition, community nutrition, or food service settings.

What if I have not met the DPD requirements or do not have a Verification Statement?

In order to enroll in the DPD program (courses, clinical experience, RD mentor), you will need to complete the Application for Concurrent Enrollment in the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and University of Illinois Graduate School (doc). Once you have completed this form, it should be submitted to Dr. Justine Karduck, the Director of the DPD in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition. Note that this application will require signature approval by your graduate advisor. Acceptance into the DPD program is not guaranteed and will be dependent upon performance in previous coursework and the availability of space in undergraduate courses. Once Ms. Karduck has approved this application, Dr. Madson can assist you in planning your program of study.

How do I apply to the DI?

Pre-select Option to Computer Matching

The University of Illinois DI participates in the pre-select option. In the pre-select process, the program can select up to 60 students per year who have met the admission requirements for the DI. The DI Director then informs D&D Digital Systems which applicants have been matched to the University of Illinois DI for the upcoming year. Applicants cannot match to the University of Illinois DI through computer matching the D&D Digital Systems. However, if an applicant is not matched to the University of Illinois DI, they can apply to other internships through the computer matching process.

Application Process

Applicants must submit the following materials to the DI Director (Dr. Jessica Madson, 363 Bevier Hall) by November 15th (or the next weekday closest to that date) of the fall prior to the year you intend to complete the internship:

  • Cover letter summarizing your motivation for completing the RD and your career goals
  • Dietetic Internship Application Form (doc)
  • Degree Progress Form (doc) signed by your graduate advisor to verify they will have completed all graduate course requirements and a major portion of the thesis research prior to starting the dietetic internship program.
  • Verification Statement (completion or intent to complete) from an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD)
  • Copy of Current Immunization Record

Three Reference Letters on the AND reference form (doc):

  • At least 1 letter must come from an employer or academic advisor who has worked closely with the student.
  • At least 1 letter must come from a professor or instructor.

In order to ensure confidentiality, letters of recommendation must be sent directly to the DI Director from the employer/instructor's office. Alternatively, letters may be sealed in an envelope and signed across the envelope flap by the employer/instructor and then submitted with the student's other application materials.

Copies of your undergraduate and graduate transcripts from your graduate application file will be obtained from the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition or the Division of Nutritional Sciences office by the DI Director. You do NOT need to request copies of transcripts from previous degrees.

What are the costs of the DI program?

Diploma Programme in Nutrition and Health Education (DNHEOL)

About the programme.

Eating is so much a part of life that we tend to assume that we know everything about food. It is generally believed that provision of proper nourishment is mainly a question of income. This is a fallacy, since nutritionally rich foods are available at a reasonable price.

Since food sustains life and accounts for a major portion of our living expenses, it will be useful for everyone to know about:

  • The nutrients contained in different items of food;
  • The needs of the human body in terms of various nutrients at different stages of life;
  • Consequences of taking more/wrong types of food;
  • Ways of selecting food articles, and the techniques for processing, cooking and preserving them.

The focus of the Programme is to enable you to make the best possible choice for meeting the nutritional needs of your family. At the same time it aims at helping you choose an adequate variety of foods to suit the taste of each individual in your family. In addition, you will learn about the nature of food-borne diseases and the importance of good food habits in preventing them. You will also be acquainted with schemes of quality control, consumer rights, etc.

Diploma Programme in Nutrition and Health Education (DNHE):

The programme is unique in that it offers specialized training in nutrition and health education particularly in planning and conducting education programmes at the community level.

Eligibility & Medium

  • Eligibility 10+2 or its equivalent or BPP from IGNOU
  • The Programme is open to all individuals 18 years of age and above with basic reading writing skills.

Student's Review On Indira Gandhi National Open University - [IGNOU], New Delhi

Course curriculum overview :.

There are lots of faculty members in this college for every stream. They teach us politely and also care about us. They are very helpful to students in all aspects. Many courses are available in this college for students. If a student does not understand any topic, the faculty members teach it as many times as the students wants so that they can understand.

Classrooms in this college are very neat and clean, and the laboratories are also air-conditioned. The medical facilities they provide for students are very good. An annual sports fest is organised every year in the college ground, and students participate in various sports. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is available in the canteen.

2023 Best Online Nutrition Degrees The Best Nutrition Degrees Online

Ready to start your journey.

An online nutrition degree prepares you for a fulfilling career in diverse settings. Whether you pursue nutrition, food science, or dietetics, your work educates people about the relationship their health has with the foods they eat.

This guide will dive into the sea of online nutrition degrees, examining their unique advantages to aspiring professionals. We will delve into the flexibility and convenience of online learning, the quality of education available, the wide range of specialization options, and the potential career pathways that open up upon earning an online nutrition degree. 

Whether you are seeking a career change, looking to enter into your first career or an individual passionate about the transformative power of nutrition, the goal of this guide is to illuminate the promising opportunities that online nutrition degrees can offer.

The Best Online Nutrition Degree Programs

online nutrition degrees

Eating is a necessary part of survival for humans. However, choosing foods that are best for our health is not easy. We want what tastes good, which does not always equal what is healthy. The best online nutrition degree gives you expertise in helping people make healthy food choices.

Universities and colleges all over the country offer courses that prepare you to:

  • Use food and nutrition principles to improve the health and wellness of individuals and communities
  • Have versatile career options in education, public health, international food organizations, and more
  • Ensure people can combat obesity with access to healthier foods within their community

The best online programs equip graduates to meet the high demands of nutritionists and dietitians, two terms often used interchangeably. Although both refer to using nutrition and food for health improvement and disease management, these professions differ.

One primary distinction is you must register with the Commission on Dietetic Registration as a dietitian to hold that title. On the other hand, nutritionists can usually work more freely from government oversight. They can practice in holistic medicine centers or other less-regulated environments.

A similar requirement for dietitians and nutritionists is mandated state licensure and certification requirements. Although you do not have to attend classes on campus, most accredited programs may have supervised internships as part of the curriculum.

Specializations for Online Nutrition Degree Programs

The demand for online nutrition degree programs is surging as more individuals seek to forge a career in the thriving health and wellness industry. These programs offer diverse specializations, allowing students to customize their degrees according to their unique needs and passions. Whether one’s interest lies in nutrition science, food safety, public health, or other areas, the opportunities for specialization are abundant within this field.

Considerations for specializations encompass various options, including healthcare administration, psychology, holistic nutrition, alternative medicine, teaching, and becoming a registered dietitian. While not mandatory, choosing a specialization can be highly advantageous for those with a specific career path in mind. Remember, a specialization may entail additional coursework, as requirements vary depending on the institution, program, and chosen specialization.

Career and Salary Information

  • Transcripts

  • Letters of recommendation

Being prepared can alleviate some of the stress you might be experiencing as you embark on this life-changing journey.

Accreditation

Accreditation for online colleges offering a bachelor’s degree in nutrition can vary depending on the institution’s location. However, several regional accrediting bodies in the United States evaluate the quality and standards of higher education institutions, including those offering online programs. These accrediting bodies ensure that colleges and universities meet certain criteria to provide a legitimate and recognized degree.

The most widely recognized regional accrediting bodies in the United States are:

  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
  • New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
  • Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
  • WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)

Remember, accreditation is not limited to online programs but applies to traditional on-campus programs. When considering online colleges for a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, it is crucial to ensure that the online school is accredited by a recognized accrediting body to ensure the quality and validity of the degree. Accreditation is significant as it may impact the transferability of credits, eligibility for financial aid, and recognition by employers or professional organizations.

Additionally, some nutrition programs may have discipline-specific accreditations or affiliations that further validate their curriculum and quality. For example, the  Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics  (ACEND) is the accrediting agency for nutrition and dietetics education programs in the United States. ACEND accreditation is highly regarded for programs that prepare students for careers as registered dietitians.

When researching online colleges for a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, check the institution’s website for information on its accreditation status, specifically related to regional accreditation and any discipline-specific accreditations or affiliations.

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Paying for the education you desire is an important factor in your decision to complete a nutrition degree. Fortunately, anyone pursuing an online undergraduate degree may apply for various types of financial aid.

There are various forms of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and loans, that can assist you in funding your education. To begin the process, you can complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ), which is conveniently accessible online. Moreover, you might also be eligible for scholarships specific to your chosen degree program, which can help reduce or cover the costs associated with your education. For example, the  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation  and the  National Association of Nutrition Professionals  offer scholarships for nutrition students. 

Although you will not repay scholarships or grants, you must repay student loans after graduation. Loans are a reasonable option if you need financial aid. However, understand the terms and conditions of the loans you’re considering. Research different loan options, interest rates, repayment periods, and available repayment plans. Federal student loans often offer more flexible repayment options and loan forgiveness programs, which may be more favorable than private loans.

What Can You Do With an Online Nutrition Degree?

online nutrition degrees

Your online nutrition degree prepares you to work in many post-graduation settings. Whether you work in a medical facility, rehab center, government office, or private institution depends on your chosen career path.

Some nutrition degree graduates prefer to work for nonprofits or community centers. This gives them direct access to communities needing help changing dietary practices that negatively impact their health.

Others pursue careers with policy-making or policy-influencing entities. Although they may not meet people in specific communities, they can help craft policies to improve nutritional outcomes. Whatever path you choose may still lead you to advancement opportunities.

How Much Does an Online Nutrition Degree Cost?

The cost of your nutrition degree depends on your chosen college or university. The duration it takes to finish the degree also factors into your final costs. Another factor to consider is not paying out-of-pocket and instead relying on financial aid.

On average, the total cost of completing a four-year degree on campus is approximately $57,000. By comparison, your total cost to attend an  online bachelor’s program  averages between $38,496 and $60,593. In addition to tuition fees, supplies and books are other essential costs.

Consider that you will save on transportation costs since you go to school online. You can attend class anywhere, and often at any time, with a proper internet connection.

How Long Does it Take to Get an Online Nutrition Degree?

Like other bachelor’s programs, completing an online nutrition degree takes four years for many students. This timeframe applies if you enroll as a full-time student. However, previous coursework at a community college or university may shorten your completion time if the credits can transfer.

Some online colleges and universities offer accelerated degree programs. This means accelerated programs can set you up to finish a degree in as few as two years.

Are There Affordable Online Nutrition Degree Programs?

Completing an undergraduate degree is a significant investment in your life and career goals. Making sure your return is worth it becomes crucial as you make this decision. Informed decisions require knowing how much enrolling in school will cost and how tuition and fees will get paid. 

An online educational format provides a flexible learning experience while fulfilling personal responsibilities. Whether you will receive financial aid or pay for your degree out of pocket, you will need a plan for how much you can afford to spend or eventually pay back student loans.

Generally, public universities offer the lowest tuition, especially if students are state residents. The average tuition for in-state students pursuing an online bachelor’s degree is  $38,496 .

Is Getting an Online Nutrition Degree Worth It?

If your educational goal is simply brushing up on basic nutrition knowledge, enroll in a few courses. However, if you want a career, earning an online nutrition degree is a great choice.

Through a bachelor’s degree, you will receive a thorough understanding of the nutritional needs of various groups. You will learn to apply this knowledge when working with a wide spectrum of people with different health conditions. Having these tools will effect positive change in people’s lives.

Your degree helps give you a strong foundation to benefit the people you serve. You will also have the option to prepare to pursue an advanced degree in nutrition. With that said, consider your earning potential when deciding how much the degree is worth. In this case, you can get an entire degree for under $40,000 while potentially earning over $60,000 annually. The return on investment is favorable! Go on to a master’s in nutrition , and you can boost your earning even more.
