The Field of Dietetics

Dietetics is the high-tech science of applying food and nutrition to health. It is a vital, growing field open to creativity and opportunity –– and the possibilities are endless. Health, nutrition, and fitness have become a way of life. People want to feel and look good. Eating right for a healthier lifestyle and learning about good nutrition are top priorities, and people are eager to learn even more. These changes mean increased opportunities in the field of dietetics.

Dietetics professionals work in healthcare, education, and research. They work in sales, marketing, and public relations. Registered dietitian nutritionists also work in government, restaurant management, fitness, food companies, and in private practice. The direction you take, and how far you take it, is your choice.

If you enjoy working with people and have a strong interest in food and nutrition, you will enjoy a career as a registered dietitian. In addition, if you have good judgment and an understanding of human nature, the motivation and initiative to work independently, and the ability to identify and solve problems, dietetics offers variety and challenge.

Biology, anatomy, physiology, and chemistry courses will be extremely important throughout your career. Math, writing, social science, psychology, and business courses are also important. As you build this liberal arts core, you will also develop a thorough understanding of the nutrition field as it applies to community and clinical nutrition and food service management.

There are a number of pathways you can choose to enter the field of dietetics. If you want to become a registered dietitian nutritionist, you can choose between enrolling in a Coordinated Program or a Didactic Program in Dietetics. A Coordinated Program is a bachelor or master’s degree program that combines classroom and supervised practical experience; and is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy). Graduates are eligible to take the Registration Examination for Dietitians to obtain credentials as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. A Didactic Program in Dietetics (D.P.D.) is an academic program, providing at a minimum a bachelor’s degree that is accredited by ACEND. Graduates of accredited D.P.D. Programs then complete an accredited Dietetic Internship (D.I.), supervised practice program. Dietetic Internships are competitive, and acceptance is not guaranteed. Upon successful completion of a Dietetic Internship, you are then   Beginning 1/1/24, you will be required to complete a master's degree before you are eligible to take the credentialing exam.  The Dietetic Technician Program is a two-year associate degree program that combines classroom and supervised practical experience; and is approved or accredited by ACEND. Students who obtain D.P.D. verification are eligible to take the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians to obtain credentials as a Dietetic Technician, Registered (D.T.R.), under the Pathway III model offered by the Commission of Dietetic Registration (C.D.R.). Syracuse University has a D.P.D. (undergraduate and graduate) and D.I. programs) program; we do not have a Coordinated Program. Attached are the pathways recognized by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Please note that in order to be eligible for the D.T.R. exam you must earn D.P.D. Verification first. Please contact Nancy Rindfuss after graduation if you are interested in applying to take the D.T.R. exam.

Nutritionist is a title used by nutrition professionals who typically work in the community for a government program, business, or health association (American Heart Association, National Dairy Council, Women, Infants and Children). It is important to note, however, that the title “nutritionist” can be used by anyone and does not require a person to have background or credentials in nutrition. Use of the job title “nutritionist” is no indication that the employer does or does not require applicants to be registered dietitians (R.D.s). Anyone using the title “dietitian” must be certified as an R.D.N. by C.D.R. In a community or business setting, being an the R.D.N. credential is not always a requirement, such as the W.I.C. Program.

Some R.D.N.s hold additional certifications in specialized areas of practice, such as pediatric or renal nutrition, nutrition support, and diabetes education. These certifications are awarded through C.D.R., the credentialing agency for the Academy, and/or other medical and nutrition organizations and are recognized within the profession; but are not required.

Policy

To ensure D.P.D. students are appropriately prepared for a supervised practice program and the field of dietetics, the Nutrition Science and Dietetics program has instituted a final exit exam that covers the entire nutrition curriculum (which is similar to the R.D. exam). You will take this exam when you are enrolled in Senior Seminar II (N.S.D. 477) which is typically in the spring of your senior year. This exam will assess the knowledge you acquired from the four-year nutrition program. It is typically an objective test with approximately 125 multiple-choice questions. It is advisable that you save your materials/notes/books from each N.S.D. class. These will also be helpful when you review for the R.D.N. exam. You must pass the senior exam with a score of 70% or higher and will have two opportunities to do so. (This exam is for undergraduate students only - the master’s verification policy. During one of your first advising meetings, you will review and sign a copy of the DPD Verification Policy. The current policy forms for undergraduates and graduate students are included in this handbook. For those students who have taken courses several years ago - your transcript will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine eligibility for D.P.D. students take a comprehensive exam)Verification.

We highly encourage you to take your R.D. exam as soon after your Supervised Practice Program as you can, are eligible because the longer you wait, the likelihood of obtaining a lower or failing score increases. The overall 3-year average pass rate in the country for test takers who passed within one year of their first attempt is 90%89%; The current 3-year average (20192020-20212022) R.D.N. pass rate for S.U. graduates taking the R.D. Exam for the first time= 96%93%.

The Registration Examination for Dietitians is designed to evaluate a dietitian's ability to perform at entry-level. The content domains and topics are based on R.D.N. practice audits. Keeping good notes during your four years that are well organized will be useful for studying for the exam. The senior exam will also give you an idea of what you are retaining from your four years. 

After January 1, 2024, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (C.D.R.) will require a minimum of a master’s degree to be eligible to take the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (R.D.N.). Learn more about this requirement.  Unless you are were enrolled in a dietetic internship during the 2022-2023 year, you will be required to complete a master's degree (in any field) before you are eligible to take the RDN credentialing exam.
