The mission of the UIC coordinated program is to prepare graduates for entry-level positions as dietitians in a variety of health care settings including clinical, community, research, business and food service
Goals and objectives of the coordinated program can be found here.
Program data regarding goals and objectives of our programs and RD exam pass results are available upon request from the program director.
Our students typically enter the coordinated program their junior year. You have to have 60 hours of pre-human nutrition courses and 78 hours of HN courses.
The coordinated program is two semesters longer than the nutrition science track because it includes a clinical component.
