Program Introduction
The UW Didactic Program in Nutrition and Dietetics (DPND) is nationally accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Entrance into the DPND is made only through an application process. Each prospective DPND student will initially enter the Human Nutrition and Food major. It is recommended that students apply to the DPND in the spring semester of their sophomore year. The academic requirements and supervised practice experience must be completed before the student is eligible for the Registration Examination for Dietitians administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), the credentialing agency for the Academy.
