Nutrition to a Greater Degree
Great News! The Nutrition Program at UCM has received candidacy accreditation by the
Accreditation Council for Education In Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) to start a
new Master of Science program, the Future Education Model (*FEM/FG).
Our Master of Science program in Nutrition is a continuation of our top-notch undergraduate
program and will prepare entry level dietitians or nutritionists to be lifelong learners.
By 2024, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will require registered dietitians
to hold at least a master’s degree. The MS program in Nutrition provides you with
two options, a Clinical Nutrition option (FEM) and a Sport Nutrition option. Both
options address the change in the CDR’s entry-level eligibility requirements for dietitians
and expands their practice through knowledge gained from this advanced degree. Completing
the FEM Master’s program in Nutrition at UCM will give students eligibility to take
the national exam to become registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN).
*Please note that FEM and FG indicate the same program.
