Nestled in Detroit's dynamic Midtown district, Wayne State University's Department of Nutrition and Food Science provides a master's program in dietetics that culminates in the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) certification. Our Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CPD) stands as one of Michigan's three ACEND-accredited coordinated programs. Since its establishment in 1980, the Wayne State CPD has maintained continuous accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
This prestigious two-year CPD program merges advanced graduate coursework with 1,032 hours of hands-on supervised training. Students gain cutting-edge, evidence-based nutrition knowledge while enhancing their analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Our distinguished faculty bring extensive knowledge across diverse nutrition specialties, and our partnerships with leading Detroit-area healthcare institutions offer valuable learning experiences with seasoned nutrition experts.
Graduates intending to stay in the Detroit metro area often secure positions at the same facilities where they completed their clinical rotations. More than 80% of our alumni land nutrition-related jobs within three months of completing the program. Career opportunities for dietitians span numerous rewarding fields, including healthcare settings, academic research, private practice, community programs, educational institutions, retail nutrition, and beyond.

Qualification Requirements
Admission to the MS-CPD program requires that you apply directly using the MS-CPD application. If selected for the program, you'll receive further instructions regarding your application to the WSU Graduate School.
The deadline to apply each year is Apr. 1 for the program that starts in the fall semester of that year. Please note that no special consideration is given to applicants before the application due date. Application review will begin after Apr. 1 for all applications received. The application will open in January each year.
Admission requires a completed application, official transcripts or a course-by-course evaluation if your bachelor's degree is from outside the U.S., and two professional recommendation letters.
If you're sending electronic transcripts, please wait until close to the Apr. 1 deadline to request them as many schools only allow transcripts to be viewable for 30 days.
Students with a transcript from another country (including Canada) must obtain a course-by-course transcript evaluation from an independent agency that validates academic degrees. Students applying to an ACEND-accredited program must have a degree that is equivalent to a bachelor's or master's degree from a U.S. regionally accredited college or university. Students in the CPD must maintain an overall University GPA of 3.0 or better, and a B or better in all supervised practice and didactic courses.
IELTS 6.5 (overall band), 79 internet-based (iBT and iBT Home Edition) 550 paper-based (PBT)
