How to Apply

The Master of Science in Nutrition (Clinical Concentration) + Dietetic Internship (MS+DI) program is designed for students who have completed a bachelor’s degree and have or will be receiving a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) Verification Statement from an ACEND-accredited DPD program. For questions about the program or the application process, please reach out to us at sargrad@bu.edu.

Please note there are two ways to apply to the MS+DI program:

  1. Pre-Select Program – Boston University has been approved to open our pre-select program to all MS+DI applicants who have graduated from an ACEND-accredited DPD program. Applicants who are admitted and commit to the BU pre-select program are not eligible to apply to another supervised practice option through the Dietetic Internship Centralized Application Services (DICAS). To apply, please follow the “MS+DI: Pre-Select Application Instructions” below.
  2. DICAS/DI Match Program – After the pre-select application phase, prospective students can apply for any remaining openings to the MS+DI program using the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics national computer matching process through the Dietetic Internship Centralized Application Services (DICAS) system and through D&D Digital. For detailed information about the DICAS computer matching process, visit the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Dietetic Internship Match website.
