Overview

About Clinical Nutrition at The University of Iowa

University of Iowa Master of Clinical Nutrition (MCN) program accreditation status is candidacy for accreditation. Graduates of a program designated as having candidate status have the same rights and privileges as graduates of an accredited program.

The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) released the Future Education Model Graduate Program Accreditation Standards for programs in nutrition and dietetics. These accreditation standards integrate didactic coursework with supervised experiential learning in a competency-based curriculum designed to prepare nutrition and dietetics practitioners for future practice.

University of Iowa demonstrated its leadership in education by being in the first cohort of programs to be accredited by ACEND under these new standards.

Careers

The Master of Clinical Nutrition program prepares students to be competent as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook released by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, the employment of registered dietitians and nutritionists is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, at a much faster rate than the average for all occupations.

The Pomerantz Career Center offers multiple resources to help students find internships and jobs.
