NTR Course number changes - fall 2023
The following course numbers are changing effective fall 2023. If your degree plan requires one of the courses on the left, or you are taking for NTR hours for the BSA degree plan, then new course number should automatically substitute for the same requirement or hours on your Interactive Degree Audit (IDA). If you notice any issues on your Audit, please be in touch with your academic advisor.

Starting spring 2024: NTR 330 Nutrition Education and Counseling will change to NTR 330L Advanced Nutrition Assessment and Counseling
- Dietetics students who have already taken or are currently taking NTR 218 & 118L Assessment of Nutritional Status should take NTR 330 in fall 2023 before this transition. This is due to upcoming updates to the course content for both NTR 218/118L and 330. The content will flow better if you take 330 while it's still offered in its current format during fall 2023. If you have any concerns about being able to take NTR 330 this fall, touch base with your advisor.
- Once NTR 330L begins in spring 2024, the prerequisites will include NTR 317L (which is replacing NTR 218 & 118L effective fall 2023). Dietetics students will then take NTR 317L Intro Nutrition Assessment and Education followed by NTR 330L Advanced Nutrition Assessment and Counseling.
NTR Course Schedule changes - fall 2023
Time Changes:

Note that on 20-22 and prior catalogs, NTR 365 can satisfy the NTR 365 topic requirement (except HANS), and the NTR 365L can satisfy 3 hrs NTR Research (except HANS) even though these topics are not listed on the degree audit. This is a newer class that was avaialble after the original catalog was written.
Dietetics
Jump to:
Dietetics Degree Options overview (DPD & ICPD)
Students interested in becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionst (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:
- Updates for Spring 2023:
- DPD Director: Diane Papillion MPH, RD: d.papi@austin.utexas.edu
- DPD Office Hours for Fall 2023: TBD
- New DPD Canvas resource 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, contact her directly or attend DPD office hours.
- 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 require an application process to pursue. 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.
- It is very important to begin gaining experience through volunteering, shadowing, part-time jobs in nutrition-related areas. The application process for dietetic internships or the ICPD is competitive!
- 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 (the options are currently very limited in Texas for this program type referred to as "future education model graduate programs"). 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.
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.
- Note about coursework:
- 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.
- The MS Nutritional Sciences graduate coursework will fulfill the following undergraduate requirements: SDS 324E Regression Analysis, NTR 342 Advanced Nutritional Sciences, and NTR 343 Vitamins & Minerals.
- Therefore, students interested in applying to ICPD could delay these courses until finding out about admission to ICPD. It can still be beneficial to take some of these to prepare for the Master's level coursework if you have space, and this could be discussed with your advisor and the ICPD Director.
- It is required to take NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II during the fall semester that you are submtting your application (ex. fall Junior) to be on track with the coureswork layout. It is allowed to take NTR 371 Medical Nutrition Therapy II (fall-only course) before NTR 370 Medical Nutrition Therapy I (spring-only course).
- NTR 162 Standards, Ethics, and Credentialing for Dietetic Practice is required for the DPD option only, however students learn about the process and program options available for becoming an RDN. It is still strongly recommended to take during sophomore year even for those interested in applying to ICPD.
- Alternatively, students would remain on the DPD degree option and may apply for
dietetic internship & Master's programs to complete after graduation if they wish to pursue becoming an RDN. This will probably be about a 2-year program to complete these remaining steps before eligible to take RDN exam.
- 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 different routes to becoming an RDN that you can still pursue. Options can be discussed with your advisor and DPD Director.
Dietetics Program Directors
- 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).
- 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.
Dietetics Email Listserv
The Dietetics email list is now geared towards full-time opportunities more appropriate to seniors and alumni. See instructions below or contact Diane Papillion directly to request access.
Opportunities for current students will now be posted through the DPD Canvas page (part-time job, internship, volunteering for building your experience):
- Go to UT Lists
- Log in with email and UT EID password

ICPD Announcements
Fall 2022 Applicaton Cycle: The Integrated Coordinated Program in Dietetics (ICPD) application deadline has now passed. The next cycle will open during summer 2023.
ICPD Advising Updates - Fall 2022
- SDS 324E & ICPD Master's Stats Update: The undergraduate "SDS 324E" class requirement can be fulfilled by a Master's degree statistics course for any student accepted to ICPD in the fall 2022 application cycle and later.
- 20-22 and prior catalogs: This is referring to the "SDS 332/324E or calculus" requirement
- 22-24 catalog (relevant for new incoming freshmen only): This is referring to the "SDS 324E" requirement, which is the second stats required after taking SDS 302F. Freshmen would typically not apply to ICPD until fall Junior year, but this is something to keep in mind when planning out classes!
- Note about the new 22-24 catalog/degree plan: this is only relevant for incoming freshmen in fall 2022. The 22-24 catalog for all BS Nutrition degrees now includes "BIO 311D" and "NTR 337". This is only required for the new incoming freshmen or transfer students on the 22-24 catalog.
- If you're on the 20-22 or prior catalog, you will not need to take these specific requirements since they are not part of your original degree plan. If you have any concerns or questions, stay in touch with your academic advisor!

Dietetics Degree Requirement Updates for NTR 355M & ACc 310F:
A few important updates were shared via email with all Nutrition students on 4/7/21. This relates to any student pursuing a Dietetics degree, or for HANS students completing Dietetics requirements:
(1) NTR 355M Advanced Foodservice Management no longer offered as of fall 2021: Take MAN 320F Foundations of Management & Organizational Behavior instead to fulfill requirement.
If you already have NTR 355M credit, no action is required.
MAN 320F should now be taken
before NTR 334 & 234L Foodservice Systems Mgmt (whereas before, NTR 355M was planned for after 334 & 234L):
- Starting for fall 2022 registration, MAN 320F will be an enforced prerequisite to NTR 334 & 234L. You will be able to register, however this will be checked during/after registration to ensure prereqs are met.
- Reasoning: The MAN 320F course will cover management concepts that will then be expanded on in NTR 334 Foodservice Systems Management.
Other notes:
- MAN 320F is offered summer, fall, spring. The prerequisite is 45 total hrs completed, so you can usually take as early as spring sophomore year.
- If you have taken or plan to take MAN 320F for the business minor, it will overlap and cover the major requirement too!
(2) "ACC 310F or ACC 311" Requirement Update (waived under certain criteria):
- For students taking NTR 334 & 234L Foodservice Systems Mgmt during fall 2021 and later: "ACC 310F or ACC 311" will be waived for you and is no longer required. It will be waived in this situation only. If you meet this criteria and are currently taking/have already taken ACC 310F and have any concerns, please connect with your academic advisor for guidance.
- For students who took NTR 334 & 234L before fall 2021: you still need the "ACC 310F or ACC 311" credit before graduation.
Reasoning: The NTR 334 & 234L course is being updated starting fall 2021 to include the necessary accounting content for dietetics students.
Please take a look at any of your previously created degree plans to see how you can incorporate these changes, and plan to connect with your academic advisor if you have any questions. Updated sample plans for reference are
available here.

NTR Research & Field Experience Courses
Your specific degree option determines what classes you are able to choose from for your NTR Research requirement (for BS degrees). See your Degree Audit for more details about your course options, because there may be both NTR classes plus also other science class options. Also, speak with your advisor for clarification about possible additional options not listed on your degree audit.
For BSA students, all of these can count for upper-division NTR hours.
NTR options (see your degree audit for approved Classes):
- NTR 327L Advanced Food Science Laboratory (previously NTR 324 & 124L through spring 2023)
- No pre-approval required; available fall & spring
- Research option depending on catalog and degree option
- The NTR 337 prereq listed in the course schedule is NOT enforced. No waiver required to register, but the NTR 307, 107L, 326 prereqs must be met by the start of the semester to stay in the class.
- For 22-24 BS Nutrition: Didactic Program in Dietetics (Option 1): 6 hrs of NTR Research are required selected from two options:
- (A) NTR 327L plus one more class from a list of options (see degree audit)
- or (B) NTR 365 Topic 5 & NTR 365L Community Engagement gardening class sequence
- NTR 366L Research Methods in Nutritional Sciences
- No pre-approval required; available fall & spring
- For the 20-22 & 22-24 BS Option II Nutritional Sciences catalog: NTR 366L plus an additional 3 hrs NTR research is required (see degree audit for options)
- NTR 355 Undergraduate Research
- Email approval required from supervising professor to gain registration access for this course - see registratoin details in section below.
- Look up NTR Faculty Research Areas. Initiate contact via email to ask if they have any opportunities for you to help in their lab for NTR 355 credit. Become familiar with their research before reaching out by reading their profile on the NTR Department website, and consider being available to volunteer a bit before doing it for credit. Sometimes you have to get trained and they may not have availability for just a one-semester committment.
- NTR 352 Field Experience in Nutrition
- See audit to confirm if this is an avialable option for your degree plan. Counts as 3 hrs upper-division NTR for BSA.
- This course has online assignments throughout the semester while you are volunteering a certain # of hours per week in the community or assisting a faculty member with a project. You must find a NTR professor to agree to supervise for this credit. When emailing them, provide them with some idea of what your volunteering would entail.
- Email approval required from supervising professor to gain registration access for this course - see registratoin details in section below.
- NTR 365L Experiential Learning in Community Engagement (spring semesters only; second part of two-semester sequence). This course involves learning how to build a community garden, and implementing a garden and nutrition lessons at a local elementary school.
NTR 355 Research & NTR 352 Field Experience Registration Process
These classes are "reserved" (restricted) courses and require confirmation from the supervising professor to grant registration access:
Registration Process:
A confirmation email from the supervising faculty member must be sent to the Human Ecology Advising Center at headvising@austin.utexas.edu to gain registration access (either by the supervisor or forwarded from the student). The course will remain 'reserved' (basically restricted) until you receive confirmation with a specific supervising professor. The email confirmation must include:
- Subject Line: Course # - Name & EID - Supervising Professor's Name
- Direct or forwarded email from supervising professor
- Semester indicated somewhere in the email (ex. spring 2022)
Once the confirmation email is received, you will be given access to register 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. So, 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.
