Background InfoAs you may know, Kaplan’s bachelor’s degree

in nutrition is not CADE approved

CADE is the acronym for the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education

CADE is ADA’s accrediting agency for educational programs required to become an RD

How to become a Registered Dietitian (RD)

Complete a CADE accredited bachelor’s and/or master’s degree

Complete a CADE internship program

Apply to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration Exam

Next steps if you want to be a RD

Research Universities that have CADE approved programs: http://www.eatright.org/students/education/accreditedprograms.aspx

Contact the programs directly to inquire about admission or credit transfer requirements

Most CADE programs only accept students once a year and even then, they only accept a small number of students – very competitive

Let’s Talk Nutrition Careers!

Remember that you can choose nutrition career paths other than becoming an RD

Kaplan’s nutrition program is an excellent preparation for a career in nutrition

There are many possibilities you can explore with your Nutrition degree!
