The 4-year Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) leads to a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics. The Didactic Program must be followed by an ACEND accredited dietetic internship in order to be eligible to sit for the registration exam. Although there is a shortage of internship sites and completion of the DPD program does not guarantee acceptance into an internship; the faculty will offer guidance with the internship application process.
Marywood's Didactic Program in Nutrition and Dietetics is currently granted accreditation status by the
Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND)
