Registered Dietitian (RD) Program: Self Study

You may complete the requirements for Introductory Food Science and Introductory Nutrition on a "self-study" basis. To complete the self-study, you must pick up a self-study packet from the NFS second degree coordinator's office, Brookdale Center, Room 1022.

You must then purchase the textbook(s), study the course material on your own, and take a multiple-choice "challenge exam" in lieu of taking the course. Challenge exams are given in May, July, and December. You must earn a grade of "80" or above to be given credit for having completed the course. A fee of $100.00 is required for each challenge exam you take. Only certified check or money order will be accepted.

Please call for information about the Introductory Food Science and Introductory Nutrition instructions.

Whether these self-study courses will be accepted at other institutions must be determined on a case by case basis by that institution.
