Admissions

For courses completed in 2020–21, online courses will be accepted due to conditions of the coronavirus pandemic.

Read the prerequisite course descriptions to make sure your prerequisites are a suitable match.

*Online courses with labs will be accepted for these prerequisites. Any combination of these course subjects will be allowed but must be covered.

You will be asked on the IU CAS application to indicate your progress toward completing each prerequisite. Although it is preferable that you only have one yet-to-be-completed course at the time of application, you are still encouraged to apply to the program if you have completed at least four of the seven prerequisites. The Nutrition and Dietetics admission team will recommend how you can meet the outstanding prerequisites. All outstanding prerequisites must be finished before starting the program.

The required courses must be completed with a grade of B- (80 percent) or higher. In some cases, an official course description or syllabus may be requested to ensure the course you completed aligns with the required MS prerequisites.

If you have an outstanding prerequisite course, it too must be completed with a grade of B- or higher. A final transcript indicating successful completion of the prerequisite is required prior to matriculation into the program.

• Completed—or will complete—your undergraduate bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university, college or foreign equivalent as determined by a recognized credentialing agency, before your intended fall start date.
• Earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
