Enrollment in a combined pathway allows highly qualified, current SUNY Buffalo State University students to work on the Master of Science in Dietetics while completing the bachelor’s degree. Twelve credits of designated master’s courses are incorporated into the bachelor’s degree program and count toward both the bachelor’s degree and the master’s degree. The undergraduate B.S. portion of the pathway is in-person. The M.S., Dietetics is online/distance. The graduate portion of the Dietetics Combined Pathway has been accredited by the Accreditation Council for the Education of Dietetics and Nutrition. Accreditation standards integrate didactic coursework with supervised practice in a competency-based curriculum designed to prepare nutrition and dietetics practitioners for future practice. Effective January 1, 2024, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) required a minimum of a master’s degree to be eligible to take the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).
