Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics

Madonna University's Nutrition and Dietetics Coordinated Program (NDCP) provides two pathways for students to become Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) working in clinical, community, athletic and corporate settings with diverse groups of clients. The program has two pathways:
Pathway 1: Students who have undergraduate degrees in fields other than dietetics should apply for the MS Nutrition and Dietetics Program
Pathway 2: Students who have undergraduate degrees in dietetics from ACEND accredited programs and a Master's degree should apply for the Nutrition and Dietetics Graduate Certificate.

The mission of the Madonna University Nutrition and Dietetics Coordinated Program is to combine didactic and practice experiences that prepare graduates for qualified practitioner and professional leadership roles in a variety of employment settings and instill in graduates a core value of community service.
