MA/MS in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services

The Master of Science in Dietetics prepares graduates for entry-level professional positions in clinical nutrition, community nutrition and food and nutrition management. It offers an uncommon opportunity for dietetics professionals in southern West Virginia. The program is open to people who hold a bachelor's degree in dietetics from an accredited institution and to practicing Registered Dietitians. Entry is competitive. Applicants must have finished a Didactic Program in Dietetics and supply a verification statement and final transcript before starting. Decisions weigh academic standing, a short personal statement, relevant paid or volunteer work in foodservice or nutrition care, three recommendation letters and an online interview. The nutrition and dietetics department website holds the detailed guidance on statements and interviews, so applicants should review it before submitting materials.
