Where to start if you already have a degree?

If you already have a bachelor's degree that is not in dietetics and are interested in becoming a registered dietitian, you should have your college transcript evaluated by a director of a dietetics program accredited by CADE. The program director will evaluate your previous academic preparation and identify the courses that you would need to complete at that school to meet the academic requirements for dietetic registration. It may be possible to complete the required dietetics coursework while enrolled in a graduate program. The dietetics program director can advise you of your options.

Once the required coursework is completed, you are eligible to apply to a CADE-accredited internship.

Advising:

Advising is mandatory for all students in the university. Upon your arrival at North Carolina A&T, you will be assigned to an academic advisor. Each student must meet with the academic advisor at least once every semester.

Grade Point average:

A student must earn a grade of "C" or better in all required FCS courses to graduate with a concentration in dietetics.
