What is a Didactic Program in Dietetics?
A Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) refers to the undergraduate plan of study in dietetics that does not provide supervised practice experience. A Didactic Program is available at the University in the Department of Nutritional Sciences. After completing a Didactic Program and earning a Bachelor’s degree, graduates must make a separate application to a Dietetic Internship program to earn the supervised practice hours necessary to take the national dietetics registration examination.
