Mission

The mission of the Didactic Program in Dietetics is to provide graduates with a rigorous, science-based, student-centered learning experience that provides the foundational knowledge and skills for eligibility for the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. The program cultivates graduates who are lifelong learners in professions that enhance human potential and well-being.
