You're nearly there!
You've been working long and hard to complete a didactic program in dietetics. You know you want to be a dietitian, but now you need to figure out which dietetic internship program is best for you.

Are your primary interests as a health professional to promote health and prevent disease? Do you want to complete a master's degree program? If "yes", then SIU may be a great match!

Graduates of our combined master's degree and dietetic internship program find jobs in all areas of dietetics: community nutrition, clinical, and foodservice management. Please note that our coursework and internship emphasize community nutrition. So if you love providing nutrition education to individuals or groups, or if you picture yourself working in public health nutrition settings, SIU's program may be what you're looking for.

I encourage you to call, or e-mail me with your questions. If you want to schedule a visit with me here at SIU, I'll be delighted to meet you and provide answers in person.

Our students are interesting and varied. They have come from many different states and countries: Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, Hawaii, Ohio, Florida, Africa, Canada, and Greece, to name a few. If you want to contact current or past students, just let me know, and I will arrange it.
