Saint Louis University’s nutrition and dietetics graduate program prepares students to be competent, compassionate dietetic professionals. SLU's nutrition and dietetics department offers a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics that can be customized to your interest with the following options:
- Culinary entrepreneurship concentration
- Nutrition therapy concentration
- Nutrition and physical performance concentration
- Medical pediatric nutrition concentration
- Combined MS-Dietetic Internship Program (MS-DI) (culinary entrepreneurship, nutrition therapy, nutrition and physical performance and medical pediatric nutrition concentrations)
- Dual Degree: M.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics and Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)
Dietetic Internship (DI)
Additionally, the department offers a dietetic internship program leading to the Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics in four concentrations:
- Culinary entrepreneurship
- Nutrition therapy
- Medical pediatric nutrition
- Nutrition and physical performance
Upon completion of the internship, students will receive their master’s degree and are eligible to sit for the national registration exam. The dietetic internship is currently granted accreditation status by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). Beginning in late June, with two online courses, the internship program provides a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised practice rotations in a variety of health care facilities in St. Louis and surrounding areas. There are approximately 15 rotations in the SLU dietetic internship. Each rotation lasts one to three weeks and focuses on an aspect of dietetics practice related to a specific disease/condition, life-cycle stage or population group.
While state interpretations of statutes may vary, it is ACEND's considered opinion that the program meets the educational requirements for dietetics licensure and certification in all states. However, completing an ACEND-accredited academic program alone does not qualify an individual for licensure or certification as a dietitian in any state. Individuals should review their state's licensing statutes and regulations to understand the specific requirements, including supervised practice and examinations, needed to obtain a dietetics license. More information about state licensure and certification can be found at this link: State Licensure.
SLU’s dietetic internship accepts 34 interns annually. Applicants may apply to one or all internship concentration areas. Applicants should submit only one DICAS application regardless of whether they are applying to one or all concentrations, but a separate personal statement letter for each concentration is required.

Program Philosophy
SLU's graduate nutrition program promotes self-directed learning, self-assessment for professional advancement, and collaborative opportunities to prepare graduates for emerging jobs in the field. The mission of SLU's MS-DI program is to prepare our graduates to assume entry-level positions as RDNs in the provision of evidence-based care with diverse patient populations.
The mission of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics is to "thrive in a community that promotes and seeks truth about food and nutrition. Woven into the fabric of this community are multifaceted educational pursuits to promote a food-centered culture for health and wellness, scholarly exploration and an appreciation of the global and ecological community in which we exist." As a department, we strive to lead with our core values of food-first nutrition, evidence-based science, creativity and innovation, hospitable culture, interdisciplinary and community collaboration, and food and environmental justice.
Curriculum Overview
SLU's graduate nutrition and dietetics curriculum builds upon a strong foundation in the sciences and includes unique aspects such as the investigation of nutrition topics in the media, the study of ethnic meal patterns and hands-on experience. Courses include classroom, lab and community experiences.
Students can pursue either full-time or part-time study in any of the master's concentrations. However, the MS-DI program does not allow for part-time study.
Dual Degree with the Master of Public Health
The primary goal of this dual-degree program is to prepare nutrition specialists to work in many types of public health and voluntary agencies, as well as medical care and educational settings. Graduates specialize in public health and dietetics and are able to design, organize, conduct and evaluate nutrition intervention programs in the public health sector. Interested applicants must apply separately to both the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics and the College for Public Health and Social Justice.
Clinical and Research Opportunities
SLU's graduate medical nutrition and nutrition and physical performance concentrations are thesis degree programs where students are required to dedicate multiple semesters to focus on research, data collection, data analysis and a written thesis. The graduate nutrition culinary entrepreneurship concentration is a nonthesis, capstone program.
Careers
Graduates with the RD/RDN credential can work as a clinical dietitian, sports dietitian, research dietitian and community dietitian. Graduates can also work as a chef/certified culinarian, food technologist, food journalist, nutrition educator/counselor, food and nutrition entrepreneur, food service manager, food scientist and much more.
