Texas A&M Dietetic Internship Program

The Texas A&M University (TAMU) Dietetic Internship (DI) Program is an ACEND accredited dietetic internship program that has welcomed interns since 1982. The TAMU DI program has an emphasis in clinical dietetics and offers two options for the applicant to choose from:  the Dietetic Internship with the option for graduate credit (DI-GC) and the Non-Degree DI option. 

The current 1-year pass rate for the RDN exam for the Texas A&M DI Program is 100%, with over 80% of the graduates of the program passing the RDN exam on the first try.  Graduates of the Texas A&M Dietetic Internship Program are working in a variety of practice settings, including:  clinical dietetics, clinical management, treatment for eating disorders, school nutrition programs, and university wellness.
