Choosing A Nutrition and Dietetics Program From Del Rio

The subject matter does not change by location: human nutrition and metabolism, medical nutrition therapy, community nutrition, food-service systems management, and supervised practice. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
