Dietitian Education Program

The Dietitian Education Program is a graduate-level Coordinated Program in Dietetics.

There are two pathways to be eligible to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) through the Dietitian Education Program: The DEP track and the Dietitian Education Certificate (DEP-C) of the Lifestyle Management & Disease Prevention track (LMDP).

Both pathways lead to an MS in Nutrition Sciences degree. All coursework is offered entirely online, and practicums can be completed in the Birmingham area or anywhere in the United States.
