Overview

The Nutrition program at the University of Central Missouri provides you with two options, a Clinical Nutrition option (FEM) and a Sport Nutrition option. Both options address the change in the CDR’s entry-level eligibility requirements for dietitians and expands their practice through knowledge gained from this advanced degree.

Completing the FEM Master’s program in Nutrition at UCM will give students eligibility to take the national exam to become registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN).
