Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Nutritional Science

 The Post Baccalaureate Program in Nutritional Science at Cal State LA provides students who have a bachelor's degree in a discipline outside of nutrition/dietetics with the knowledge and skills required by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) to become an entry-level registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN). Upon successful completion of this program, students will be provided a verification statement, which will allow for application to a supervised practice program (dietetic internship).  The curriculum also provides the foundation for students to continue their education in nutrition or related fields at the graduate level.

This program is a track that falls under our accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2190, Chicago, IL. 60606-6995, (312) 899-0040, ext. 5400
