Online MPH with a Concentration in Nutrition and Dietetics
The Integrated Graduate Program in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of South Florida is an intensive, 20-month, full-time program designed to qualify students for the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) credentialing exam to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). This program offers a unique blend of online didactic coursework and onsite supervised experiential learning within a competency-based curriculum, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for future practice in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
Upon successful completion, students earn a Master of Public Health (MPH) Degree with a concentration in Nutrition and Dietetics, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to pursue careers as RDNs. This program supersedes the former USF Dietetic Internship, which no longer accepts new applicants.
The program’s emphasis is population health and service. The integration of coursework with supervised practice is designed to advance your ability to function as a leader in your profession to promote better health for diverse members of society and serve as a compassionate provider of nutrition care and education. International experience is incorporated in the final semester of the internship. The USF dietetic internship is committed to the enhancement of quality of life for individuals, communities and global societies through service and nourishment of body and spirit.
