Program Overview
Garden to Table Nutrition offers a distance dietetic internship with 1,000 hours of supervised practice. Interns are responsible for finding their own preceptors, who need to be qualified for their role. Applicants with a strong background in nutrition can apply for credit for prior learning, which, if granted would decrease the number of supervised practice hours needed. Our Spring Match cohort includes a required in-person five-day On-Site in WA, while our Fall Match cohort is fully remote, but requires a local "on-site" assignment). Local Food Production Concentration Dietetic Interns will spend 80 hours getting hands-on farm/garden experience: growing, harvesting, dehydrating, or canning food during their internship, either at our Washington community garden, or in a location they choose themselves. This prepares students to make a positive impact on their communities through the promotion of healthful nutrition and they will guide others in growing, harvesting, and preparing food. Tuition $9,000 (NOTE: There will be a monthly fee of $100 per month if your program length is extended beyond nine months.) Note: COVID Policy Information.
