The Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with Supervised Experiential Learning (MSND-SEL) is a combined online-onsite practice program that integrates a Master of Science degree along with the 1,000 hours of alternate and supervised experiential learning (SEL) required to become eligible to take the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists (RDN) and meet state licensure eligibility requirements of Puerto Rico. The supervised experiential learning (SEL) hours consist of 280 hours of alternate experiential learning embedded in required courses and 720 hours, equivalent to 8 credits, to be completed in SEL practice sites. The Program follows a Competency Based Education (CBE) that integrates didactic education with supervised experiential learning.
The Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with Supervised Experiential Learning (MSND-SEL) program will admit students in compliance with the following policies and criteria:
UPR-RP general admission criteria for graduate programs (Certification No. 95, pages 21-22):
- Bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) from an accredited or recognized university or college.
