I would like to take the Dietetic Technician (DT) program first, but my goal is to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). Would the DT program transfer to a university?
This program is not designed to be an RD transfer program at this time. We suggest you first consult a university that offers a CADE accredited RD program. You can access the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) website. In addition, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) – School of Health Related Professions has a distance learning transfer program designated specifically for DTR’s to become RDs.
