The Master of Science program combined with a Dietetic Internship is exclusively open to students holding a verification statement from an ACEND-accredited undergraduate program. Candidates must also secure placement in the University of Maine Dietetic Internship Program. This program prepares graduates to qualify as Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and take the National Registration Examination. Our alumni consistently achieve high exam pass rates and quickly find employment in the dietetics field. Hear directly from current dietetic interns about their community experiences. Additional admission details are available on our website.
Those seeking consideration for the dietetic internship match must first gain admission to the M.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a Dietetic Internship concentration. We strongly recommend submitting complete applications by January 15 for assistantship eligibility. Competitive candidates typically maintain a minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA. For application guidance or further details, reach out to the Dietetic Internship Program Director: Mona Therrien-Genest, DCN, RD, LD (mona.therrienmaine.edu, 207.581.3130).
