Dietetics Degree Options overview (DPD & ICPD)

Students interested in becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) should pursue the Option I Dietetics: Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) that will qualify graduates to apply to a dietetic internship which provides the supervised practice hours required to become an RDN. If you are currently pursuing a different Nutrition degree option and unsure of your graduation timeline for the Dietetics option, touch base with your academic advisor and the DPD Director (contact details below) and review the information below. Note: effective January 1, 2024, the RDN profession will require a Master’s degree for entry into the profession. Those graduates who have not completed a dietetic internship by January 1, 2024 will need to meet this requirement. Many dietetic internship programs are paired with a Master’s degree.

For more information about the process to become an RDN, see the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) website and the Dietetics page of the Department of Nutritional Sciences website.

Students have the option of applying to UT's Integrated Coordinated Program in Dietetics (ICPD) as early as Junior year which is an accelerated five-year program leading to completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences, and supervised practice hours necessary to become an RDN.

Students under the DPD degree option will have access to a new DPD Canvas resource page. If you have recently changed to the DPD option or have further questions about accessing the Canvas page, contact the DPD Director Diane Papillion or attend DPD office hours (see below).

For sample degree plans for both DPD & ICPD, see the Degree Plans page of the Advising Center website. Note this is only a sample layout, and it is recommended to meet with your academic advisor each semester. 

Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) Overview:

• DPD Director:
  • DPD Director: Diane Papillion MPH, RD: d.papi@utexas.edu
  • DPD Office Hours: Check DPD Canvas home page.
  • DPD Student Canvas page: students who are declared on the BS Nutrition: Didactic Program in Dietetics degree option will be added to a new Canvas resource page managed by Diane Papillion. If you have questions about accessing the Canvas page or if you recently changed to DPD and need access, you can email her directly.
    
    
• The DPD degree option includes all required coursework for graduates to be eligible to apply for a dietetic internship program which provides required supervised practice hours to become an RDN.  A dietetic internship & Master's degree would be completed after graduating from UT, and many dietetic internship programs are paired with a Master's degree (typically about ~2 year program).  For more information including the DPD curriculum and handook, see the DPD website. 

• The DPD degree option does not currently require an application process to pursue as of spring 2024. Talk with your academic advisor to let them know you would like to "declare" this option. (If you are not already a CNS student, you must apply to CNS through the Internal Transfer Application process, or you may complete DPD coursework as a non-degree seeking student if you are completing/already have a degree in another subject). However, dietetic internship & Master's programs require a competitive application process. Students may apply for these programs during their final year or later. Detailed information about this process is covered in NTR 162 Standards, Ethics, and Credentialing for Dietetic Practice which is a required course taught by the DPD Director. It is highly recommended to take this course during Sophomore year, or as soon as possible if you recently changed your major.
  
  
• Students who are graduating/have graduated under a different major or Nutrition degree option from UT are still able to pursue becoming an RDN. You could either take remaining DPD coursework after graduation to be eligible for a traditional dietetic internship program, or there are certain types of Master's programs with less prerequisites that include a Master's and dietetic internship. This program type is referred to as "future education model graduate programs", however these options are currently very limited in Texas right now (there are some distance/online program options out-of-state). Reach out to the Human Ecology Advising Center and DPD Director to determine the best plan for you based on your remaining time at UT.
  
  

• Course Planning Priorities: 

  • Note that the DPD and ICPD sample plans are aligned to be similar through the Sophomore year to help students be on track to apply to ICPD if they wish to. However, if you know that you will not be applying to ICPD during the fall of Junior year, the DPD coursework can be spread out more into the Junior and Senior years.
  • Substitution: For 20-22 and earlier catalogs, MAN 320F must be taken in place of NTR 355M, and ACC 310F can be waived.
  • NTR 317L Intro Nutrition Assessment & Education: It is essential to take 317L during Sophomore year at the latest, or as soon as possible if you recently changed your major. If there is a time conflict with another course (ex. NTR 307 & 107L), then take 317L. 
    • NTR 317L is a prereq for NTR 330L Advanced Nutrition Assessment & Counseling, NTR 370 Medical Nutrition Therapy I (spring-only) and NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II (fall-only).
    • If you are considering applying to ICPD, NTR 317L must be completed no later than the semester before applying to be on track with this sequence. Ex. take course spring of Sophomore year at the latest if planning to apply fall of Junior year. Students may apply fall Junior year at the earliest, or fall Senior year at the latest depending on your coursework timeline. 
  • NTR 162 Standards, Ethics, and Credentialing for Dietetic Practice: This is highly recommended to take during Sophomore year or as soon as possible. This is not required for those accepted to ICPD, however it helps prepare students for this application and to explore other program options!
  • NTR 370 Medical Nutrition Therapy I is spring-only, and NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II is fall-only.
    • They can be taken in either order as needed. Take 370 before 371 is possible though.
    • NTR 317L is a prerequisite, and NTR 330L is a pre or co-requisites (ideally complete 330L before, but can be taken concurrently with 370 or 371).
  • Follow the DPD and ICPD Sample Plans closely, and consult with your advisor if things need to be adjusted based on your timeline or recent major change. If classes are shifted around/need to be condensed quite a bit, it is possible that time conflicts may occur.

    
  
  

Integrated Coordinated Program in Dietetics (ICPD) Overview - Application Required

• The ICPD Program is by application only and includes all components necessary to sit for the dietitian exam after 5 years: BS Nutrition + supervised practice/dietetic internship + Master of Science (MS) in Nutritional Sciences. Students are eligible to take RDN exam upon completion of this program. 
  
  
• With the addition of the MS degree, this adds one additional year to the program. It is now 5 years total if applying Junior year, or 6 years total if applying Senior year.
  • Please note that the upcoming Master's requirement to become an RDN allows for the Master's degree to be in any subject! The ICPD program at UT is specifically combined with an MS in Nutritional Sciences, so you need to be interested in taking more nutritional sciences coursework for this to be a good fit for you! There are many program options out there, so be sure to research options. For example, some dietetic internship programs are paired with a Master of Public Health (MPH), or a Master's in nutrition that is more focused on community education. Although NTR 162 Standards, Ethics, and Credentialing for Dietetic Practice is a required course for the DPD program only, it is extremely beneficial to still take this before applying to ICPD as it guides you to learn more about program options (it also helps with preparing for the ICPD application too)!
  • Graduation with both BS & MS degrees occurs at the very end of the ICPD program.  
    
    
• Application Timeline:
  • Students start on the BS Nutrition: Option 1 Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) noted above and must then be admitted into ICPD through a competitive application process. The application deadline occurs each year in early September.
  • Students may apply at the beginning of fall of Junior year at the earliest (for 5 yrs program total), or fall of Senior year at the latest (6 yrs program total). See the ICPD program website for more details about the prerequisite requirements and timeline. The sample plan on the Degree Plans page of the advising website also shows what courses you should aim to complete by time of application. See your academic advisor to discuss degree planning and the ICPD application timeline.
    
    
• Course Planning Priorities:
  • Coursework taken freshman and sophomore year is similar on the DPD or ICPD plans. After the ICPD application cycle, the coursework can vary slightly for remaining requirements. Students are encouraged to check their Interactive Degree Audit frequently and visit with their academic advisor every semester for course planning.
  • Substitution: For 20-22 and earlier catalogs, MAN 320F must be taken in place of NTR 355M, and ACC 310F can be waived.
  • NTR 317L Intro Nutrition Assessment & Education: It is essential to take 317L during Sophomore year at the latest, or as soon as possible if you are a Junior and recently changed your major. If there is a time conflict with another course (ex. NTR 307 & 107L), then take 317L. 
    • NTR 317L is a prereq for NTR 330L Adv Nutrition Assessment & Counseling, NTR 370 Medical Nutrition Therapy I (spring-only) and NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II (fall-only).
    • If you are considering applying to ICPD, NTR 317L must be completed no later than the semester before applying to be on track with this sequence. Ex. take 317L spring of Sophomore year at the latest if planning to apply fall of Junior year. Students may apply fall Junior year at the earliest, or fall Senior year at the latest depending on your coursework timeline. 
  • NTR 162 Standards, Ethics, and Credentialing for Dietetic Practice: This is highly recommended to take during Sophomore year or as soon as possible. This is not required for those accepted to ICPD, however it helps prepare students for this application and helps to explore other program options!
  • NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II (fall-only) must be taken during the Fall semester that you plan to apply at the latest (ex. fall Junior if applying Junior year, or fall Senior is okay if applying during Senior year). It is okay to take NTR 371 before 370.
  • Delay these courses: For those accepted to ICPD, there are some courses covered by the MS Nutritional Sciences graduate coursework. Wait on taking SDS 324E, NTR 338W, NTR 339L, NTR 342 & 343 until after finding out about acceptance.
  • Follow the ICPD Sample Plan closely, and consult with your advisor if things need to be adjusted based on your timeline or recent major change. If classes are shifted around/need to be condensed quite a bit, it is possible that time conflicts may occur.
    
    
• Alternative to applying to ICPD, students can remain on the DPD degree option and may apply for dietetic internship & Master's programs (typically 2-year program) to complete after graduation if they wish to pursue becoming an RDN.
  
  
• Students who have already graduated with a BSA or BS in Nutrition from UT Austin are not eligible to apply to the ICPD. However, there are still other available routes to becoming an RDN. Reach out to the Human Ecology Advising Center and DPD Director for more guidance.
   

Dietetics Program Directors 

• DPD: Diane Papillion, MPH, RD (DPD Director): Diane Papillion is the new DPD Director starting in spring 2023.
  • All students listed under the DPD degree option will be added to a DPD Canvas resource page that includes helpful information about the degree option and process of becoming an RDN. The Canvas page will also be used to share opportunities for current students like part-time job, internship, volunteering.
  • Professor Papillion teaches NTR 162 which covers the process and program options for becoming an RDN including UT's ICPD program (recommended to take sophomore year or as soon as possible).

• ICPD: Monica Milonovich, MS, RDN, LD (ICPD Director): For questions related to the ICPD program specifically, you are also welcome to reach out to Ms. Milonovich.

NTR 355 undergrad Research &
NTR 352 Field Experience 

These classes are "reserved" courses and require confirmation from the supervising professor to grant registration access either during your initial registration time or add/drops up until the fourth class day:

Registration Process: 

A confirmation email from the supervising faculty member must be sent to the School of Human Ecology Advising Center at headvising@austin.utexas.edu to gain registration access (either by the supervisor or forwarded from the student). 

Please include:

• Subject Line: Course # - Name & EID - Supervising Professor's Name
• Direct or forwarded email from supervising professor
• Semester indicated somewhere in the email (ex. fall 2024)

Once the confirmation email is received, you will be notified and given access to register yourself for the course.

It is ideal that we receive this before the 4th class day of the semester that you want to take it, if you hope to enroll in the course.  It's okay to add this later during "add/drop" time frames if you don't get confirmation by the time you initially register.  As needed, you could add a filler class for hours while you are still waiting to figure this out.

For NTR 355 Research, reach out as soon as possible though since available space might get full quickly.
