NOTE: Completing an ACEND-accredited bachelor’s program alone is not sufficient to qualify an individual for licensure or certification as a dietitian in any state. In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree and meeting other state-specified requirements, individuals must also complete a supervised practice experience and pass a licensing exam. Consistent with current requirements of the Registered Dietitian credential, some states may also require initial dietitian licensure applicants to hold a master’s degree. Statutes, regulations and policies of state licensing agencies are subject to change; this information only reflects published statutes and regulations as of July 1, 2024. Individuals should review their state's licensing statutes and regulations to understand the specific requirements to obtain a dietetics or dietitian license.
