Nutrition and Dietetics 3+2 Program
The Department of Nutrition offers a Nutrition and Dietetics 3+2 Program. Both undergraduate and graduate level coursework in nutrition includes the opportunity to conduct and analyze research, enhance critical thinking and effective communication skills, and participate in experiential learning opportunities. In this program, students earn two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics in a total of five years. The Nutrition and Dietetic 3+2 Program will meet the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) requirements for students wanting to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)* after the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) requirements change in 2024.
Students interested in completing the 3+2 Program will apply to the program once enrolled as an MSU Denver undergraduate student with a major in Nutrition and Dietetics.
*Students who complete the Nutrition and Dietetics 3+2 Program, earn first their bachelor’s and then master’s degree throughout the five year program and are eligible to apply for Dietetic Internships in the last semester of the five year program.
