Students who must be enrolled in a graduate program to complete dietetic internship requirements and become eligible to sit for the registration exam will enroll in the Master's in Nutrition Non-Thesis program at Auburn University.
While DICAS is used for the dietetic internship application, students should apply directly to the graduate program by October 15. Failure to apply to the AU graduate program by the deadline could result in not being accepted in to the dietetic internship program.
