Due to prerequisites and sequencing of chemistry and food & nutrition courses,
transfer students can expect to attend UWSP for at least 6 semesters.
To be admitted to the Dietetics program, students must achieve a 2.75
cumulative GPA. This must be maintained in order to remain in the major. A
GPA of 3.3 is desirable in order to be competitive for the post-graduation
Dietetics internship and subsequent Registered Dietitians exam and
certification.
