In May of 2010, the Louisiana Board of Regents approved a Graduate Certificate Program in Dietetics. Effective, May 2011, dietetic interns who complete the prescribed 15 hours of graduate course work will be granted the Graduate Certificate in Dietetics.

Required Course Work includes:

3. Two additional 500-level FNU graduate courses (6 hours)
