About Us! 

Meredith College’s Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND)-accredited Dietetic Internship program provides college graduates who have met the DPD requirements with the knowledge and supervised practice needed to enter this fast-growing field of nutrition. The dietetic internship prepares students for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist exam and, ultimately, a career as a Registered Dietitian. Meredith’s location is ideal for internship participants, who can work at some of the world’s top corporations and medical centers, as well as in local human services agencies and school systems. And, those completing the internship earn six credit hours toward the M.S. in Nutrition from Meredith

Indicators of Success
96% of program interns completed program/degree requirements within 16.5 months (150% of the program length) for Traditional Pathway and Site Preceptor Pathway cohort A & B or within 22.5 months (150% of the program length) for Site Preceptor Pathway cohort C or 36 months (150% of the program length) for the ISPP Pathway.
The program’s one-year pass rate (graduates who pass the registration exam within one year of first attempt) on the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists is 91%.
Of graduates who seek employment, 100% were employed in nutrition and dietetics or related fields within 12 months of graduation.

We are accredited for one dietetic internship that has three distinct tracks/pathways:
Traditional Dietetic Internship Pathway: This program provides the student with all of their rotation sites and takes place in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.

Site Preceptor Pathway Dietetic Internship (SPP): This program provides the student with a coveted Food Service Management and Clinical/MNT site.

Individualized Supervised Practice Pathway Dietetic Internship (ISPP): In this flexible rotation, the student locates and identifies all of their rotation sites at least 150 miles outside the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.
