The accelerated master’s coordinated program in dietetics within the nutrition and exercise physiology (NEP) degree program offers students a unique opportunity to earn two degrees in just five years. Students who complete the program come away with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and exercise physiology, with an emphasis in nutrition and foods; a master’s degree in dietetics; and all of the internship hours necessary to take the registration examination for dietitians (RD Exam). It’s a program that Samantha Tracy, a master’s student in dietetics, said she is thrilled to have found. Photo courtesy of Samantha Tracy.
