Transform Lives Through Nutrition With a Dietetics Master's Degree

Dietitians and nutritionists play a crucial role in helping people maintain and improve their health through better dietary choices that can lead to significant improvements in quality of life, disease prevention, and management of chronic conditions.

Due to increasing awareness about the importance of nutrition and the rising prevalence of diet-related diseases, the demand for dietitians and nutritionists is growing.

To join the field and work as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), you must have a BS, clinical/practicum hours, and earn a master’s in nutrition or dietetics. To meet the need for RDNs, Viterbo University has been granted approval to offer an online Master of Science in Community Medical Dietetics degree. 

Our dietetics master’s program offers three unique options: coordinated program, direct entry, or dietetic intern. Coursework is 100% online, and you can complete your coordinated internship anywhere in the United States.

Master of Science in Community Medical Dietetics - Initial RDN License Prep/Direct Entry

This 63-credit-hour dietetics master’s program combines foundational coursework with the dietetic coordinated internship necessary to become a registered dietitian. You will obtain advanced nutrition skills through graduate coursework with an emphasis in your area of interest. This dietetics program track includes clinical/practicum hours, providing you with all experiences needed to take the registration exam to become a registered dietitian.

To apply for the direct entry dietetics master’s program, you must complete the following pre-enrollment courses with a grade of C or better and send your official transcript to Viterbo. Courses include:

  • Anatomy and Physiology I with Lab
  • Anatomy and Physiology II with Lab
  • Biochemistry
  • General Chemistry or Chemistry for Health Sciences
  • Microbiology with Lab
  • Organic Chemistry

Master of Science in Community Medical Dietetics - Dual Master’s with Dietetic Internship

If you have already graduated from a didactic nutrition program, you are eligible for our dual dietetics master’s with a dietetic internship. You will further your nutritional knowledge and skills through the internship and graduate-level coursework.

You can choose from numerous electives to design your graduate dietetics program around your area of interest. You can also opt for either:

  • A 48-credit hour non-thesis clinical focus that provides intensive clinical/practicum hours if you want additional patient care experience, or
  • A 39-credit hour thesis track that meets accreditation requirements for clinical/practicum hours while providing you with experience working one-on-one with a research advisor to conduct your own research.

If you have already graduated from a didactic dietetics program, you can also opt to apply for the dietetic internship program.

Master of Science in Community Medical Dietetics - RDNs

Our 30-credit hour dietetics master’s program is designed for current RDNs who want to advance their expertise and scope of practice.

This evidence-based program equips you with the advanced skills, knowledge, and behaviors to grow within the field. Emphasis is on disease prevention and management, and you can choose electives that accentuate your current work.

The variety of electives and subsequent research project offer you the flexibility to enhance your current practice or develop expertise in a specific area of personal interest.

Dietetic Internship

If you have earned your bachelor’s degree and completed the knowledge requirements of a DPD program—as defined by the 2017 Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics’ Standards of Education—our dietetic program internship will help you complete your education requirements to become an RDN.

Dietetics Master’s Program Highlights

If you want to work as an RDN, you must earn a master’s in nutrition or dietetics. Our dietetics programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) and provide the coursework and internship experiences you need to succeed in the field.

Specific benefits of our dietetics programs include:

  • Experienced faculty. Our faculty members bring a wealth of diverse expertise, having conducted research in areas such as cancer, maternal nutrition, community nutrition, food science, food service, obesity, inflammation, sports nutrition, neurodegenerative disorders, and beyond.
  • Time commitment. Our unique dietetics programs require less time to complete than other programs, which makes Viterbo more affordable in the long run.
  • Convenience. Not only is coursework offered 100% online, but you can also complete your dietetics master’s clinical hours anywhere in the country. We will assist you in securing your clinical placements, so you won’t have to search for a site on your own. Some of our sites offer opportunities to work with NCAA Division I or professional sports teams, such as the Minnesota Vikings. You could even complete your 1,000 hours of clinical/practium in Spain or Denmark.
  • Personalized attention. With courses capped at just 26 students, you will receive personalized attention from your faculty members. You will also be paired with a dedicated academic and research advisor to help you achieve your career goals.
  • Connection. Our Student Dietetics Association provides opportunities to network, volunteer, and raise funds for study materials for the RD exam or travel to nutrition conferences.

What Can You Do With a Master’s in Nutrition or Dietetics?

Now is an excellent time to graduate as an RDN. There is a multitude of positions available and a shortage of dietitians to fill them.

You will be qualified for a variety of career paths, including:

  • Clinical dietetics
  • Community nutrition
  • Food service management
  • Private practice
  • Research
  • Sports nutrition

This diversity allows you to find niches that perfectly align with your interests and skills.

Examples of Dietetics Master’s Program Courses

In our graduate dietetics programs, you can choose electives based on your professional and personal goals. We offer emphases in sports nutrition, medical nutrition therapy, and community medical dietetics. Other electives include:

  • Advanced Sports Nutrition
  • Nutrigenomics

  • Nutrition and Inflammation
  • Nutrition Entrepreneurs: How To Build a Private Practice

You can also choose electives from the nutrition department, mental health counseling, health care management, or the MBA program.

We also offer the Sports Nutrition and the Mediterranean Diet elective, in which you can complete a portion of your clinical hours counseling professional athletes in Spain.

If you choose the thesis option for your dietetics master’s, you will complete two research courses under the advisement of an expert in your choice of research area.

What Can You Do With an Ethical Leadership EdD?

Learning what ethical leadership entails increases your value as a manager regardless of your career path. Completing an EdD program also provides a necessary credential for promotion. Senior positions across various fields increasingly seek individuals with doctorates who can perform research and analyze data.

Graduates of the general EdD program have gone on to work as chief diversity officers, senior management, and change-makers within their organizations. The superintendent license track paves the way toward earning the Wisconsin (WI 5003) Superintendent licensure.

[The EdD program] is a blend of what Viterbo is really great at, the servant leadership component, which is so important in leadership, and then combine it with the great things about education. It’s the perfect blending for me."

—Jennifer Krug Melville, EdD with Superintendent licensure

Examples of Ethical Leadership Courses

Our coursework blends theory and practice, allowing you to reflect on your own leadership practices. You can immediately apply what you’re learning to your current organization and become a knowledge producer through your dissertation research.

EdD online courses include:

  • Unique offerings like Social Science Research for Leaders and a Philosophy and Leadership seminar
  • Value-based courses like Values in Leadership and Leading Negotiation

Both the general and superintendent track include practicums. Those in the general track investigate a problem in their work environment through the lens of ethical leadership, and superintendent track students work to implement ethical leadership in education.
