Program Pathways

Our Dietetic Internship provides for four (4) options to allow applicants the best method to meeting their education and supervised practice needs:

• Dietetic Internship Only program (9 months)
• Masters Degree Plus DI program (20 months)
• Individualized Supervised Practice Program (ISPP) for applicants who hold a doctoral degree (length varies).
• Partner Pathway Programs (length varies) for applicants who are applying through the Drexel Partner-Plus Masters-DPD program or Early Action Program at Pennsylvania State University.

Our total maximum yearly enrollment is sixteen (16) interns. One class of eight begins supervised practice in late August and graduates in late May, and one class of eight begins supervised practice in mid-January with a mid-to-late October graduation.

Our program participates in both Fall and Spring application cycles.  Available program concentrations and start dates may vary by each application period.  All sixteen (16) Dietetic Intern positions may be filled during a particular application cycle.  Available options will be reflected in the DICAS portal for our program under the Questions section.

For each of the two program start dates, up to six applicants are selected to complete the Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) concentration and up to two are selected to complete the Community Leadership or Sports Nutrition concentration.
