Orientation for Admitted M.S. Nutrition and Dietetics Program Students

campus in late spring

General Information

The program's orientation is scheduled for the Tuesday following Memorial day and will be held virtually! The program will email a detailed schedule to accepted students in early May.

Students are required to participate in a virtual orientation session at the end of May. The orientation will include discussion of program policies and procedures, program schedules, course expectations, and a host of other introductory issues. The complete and most up to date version of the Student Handbook will be administered and reviewed during orientation. During the orientation, students may be tested on general knowledge of medical nutrition therapy, foodservice management, nutrition education, and community nutrition. The results will help faculty assess where students are with regard to current information as well as identify areas where particular attention should be paid.

Students who do not have ServSafe Certification that will be valid through the end of the program must purchase the course and successfully pass the ServSafe Certification exam by the beginning of the summer semester. Accepted students should review all information under the Admitted Students tab (which can be found on the left side of this webpage) and should provide all documentation as outlined on that webpage to the program prior to orientation. Please reach out to the program via email with any questions or concerns.
