3 Steps To Become A Registered Dietitian If You Already Have A Degree

As a Registered Dietitian who changed careers, I'm sharing the 3 steps you need to take to become an RD if you have a degree in another field!
1. Assess all the schooling options
2. Take the prerequisite courses
3. Make sure you have all the necessary requirements completed & apply!

Hi Natalie. I just found your website and think it's great! My wife and I just started a plant based diet and we are really enjoying it! Being the son of immigrant Italian parents I never thought I could do this ! I like how you explain everything in simple terms and your passion comes through in your videos. I am physically fit and exercise 5 - 6 days a week and I am looking forward to more of your videos, and possibly hearing from you in the future! Grazie, Ciao

What are some programs you recommend for someone with a BS in Nutritional Science who wants to become a RD? I've looked into UNE's MSAN program, but do you have any other recommendations?

This might be a silly question, but I like you have a degree in the arts. I am wanting to take prerequisite classes this summer. Then hopefully do well enough to start a nutrition graduate program by fall of this year 2023. Do you think this is too optimistic? Also would I be affected by the 2024 masters rule since I already have a bachelors degree? Thanks so much.

If I have a Master’s in Nutrition and an MPH with a focus in Nutrition. My MS in Nutrition was unfortunately not ACEND accredited, while also not focusing on Dietetics and was not connected to a dietetic internship. Do you have any recommendations? Can I still be an RD? I saw that Cornell has a PHD, RD program. Do you know of any other programs?

I’m confused.. you still need the prereq even if you do a masters?
