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 will be screened by Garden to Table Nutrition. 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 5-day "On-Site" in WA, while our Fall Match cohort is fully remote. (Note: COVID vaccination is a requirement for Spring Match.)
​
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 vaccination is a requirement for programs with an in-person component. ​

NOTE: While Garden to Table Nutrition is not eligible for Federal Financial Aid, if you are doing a Master's program at the same time, you can apply for financial aid. (NOTE: We've heard from University of Alabama Master's students that they usually get about $5,000 beyond the cost of tuition.)
