Concerned about the ACEND master's degree requirement?
The New York Distance Dietetic Internship only requires you to be enrolled in a master's program, not completed it.We may have the solution you are looking for.
We want to share with you a Master of Science in Nutrition program. This 30-hour graduate program has two concentration options: Applied Nutrition or Sports Nutrition and is available 100% online from Lamar University, member of the Texas State University System. If accepted to Lamar, you will be eligible for preselect status at NYDDI (bypass DICAS application and received $500 discount from NYDDI).
The cost is $9,720 for a 30-credit master's degree. See their website at www.lamar.edu.
The direct email for the nutrition department is nhhs@lamar.edu. The student liaison phone number is 409-880-8663.
This may be the key that opens the door to entry into our internship and you becoming a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist.

Read what our interns have to say:
"If you are looking for an internship program that offers freedom and flexibility, choose the New York Distance Dietetic Internship.
This program is affordable and allows you to tailor your experience to exactly how you prefer. There are a total of four rotations (food service, community, clinical and health/nutrition influencer.) The lineup of the rotations flows nicely. For example, working within the community before immersing yourself in the clinical field helps you form an idea of the nutritional needs of the general population first. This knowledge provides a foundation for the specific nutritional needs in a clinical care setting." read more
Nicole Franz, RDN"The New York Distance Dietetics Internship program offers exactly what I needed as a single mom in my journey to become an RDN. The opportunity to complete a well-rounded rotation schedule and internship experience in my home town was extremely important to me. I knew immediately upon meeting the Director and RD Exam instructor during the interview that NYDDI was for me! The team is so supportive, and it's been an amazing experience!
🙂 thank you!"
Ann McQuinn Certified Integrative Health Coach, True Wellness, LLC"NYDDI was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I was allowed to work alongside and connect with people within my community. My instructors were extremely helpful and transparent throughout the internship process. NYDDI even allowed me to choose an elective of my passion within sports nutrition! I got to be flexible with my schedule inside and outside of the program. We had weekly meetings and daily communication between instructors and my intern mates. We helped each other with test prep, on job questions, and became close friends even spread out across the U.S. The extensive study materials and practice exams helped me become familiar with the ins and outs of the RD Exam. NYDDI prepared me with the knowledge and skills to succeed in my next endeavors!"
