Our Program

Registered dietitian nutritionists, or RDNs, translate the science of food and nutrition to enhance the well-being of individuals and groups. K-State offers two professional programs in dietetics, a didactic program and a coordinated program. Both programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.

In 2024, the degree requirement for eligibility to take the registration exam for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, RDN, will be elevated to a graduate degree. The Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health department offers several options to fulfill this graduate degree requirement.
