New York University's Dietetic Internship

The mission of New York University's Dietetic Internship is to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed for practice as entry-level dietitians. The internship prepares graduates to integrate theory with practice and apply critical thinking and analytical skills in order to help improve the dietary intake, nutritional status, and overall health of individuals and groups.

The NYU Dietetic Internship is housed in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health in the School of Education. The program meets American Dietetic Association (ADA) requirements for supervised clinical practice for registration eligibility. It also fulfills 18 of the 40 credits needed for a Master's of Science (M.S.) degree in Nutrition and Dietetics: Clinical Nutrition (curriculum code HOND-CNU).
