application to a dietetic internship or preprofessional practice program. In order to be eligible to take the registration exam, students must complete
an internship after graduation. Completion of a B.S. degree in Dietetics does not guarantee placement in a dietetic internship nor eligibility to take the
registration exam. The B.S. degree in Dietetics is the first step of three to becoming a registered dietitian (RD).

The Mission of the Dietetics Program
The mission of the UW-Stout Dietetics program is to prepare students for successful entry into dietetic internships, graduate studies and entry level
employment in dietetics, as a registered dietitian. Learning experiences are situated in curricula that integrate evidenced-based science, critical thinking
skills and practical application, while infusing the use of technology.
The mission of the Dietetics program is compatible with the missions of the department, college and university, as well as the University of Wisconsin
System, as the Dietetic program focuses on fostering growth of individuals, learning by doing and encouraging leadership. The program prepares students for
the world of work in an ever-changing global society by searching for truth and utilizing technology as a tool. Use of theories, grounded in research and
experimentation, are also strong focal points in the learning environment at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, as well as the University of Wisconsin
System, which extends its focus by emphasizing the improvement of the human condition. The University of Wisconsin System, University of WisconsinStout, the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences and the Food and Nutrition Department serve and support the Dietetic program’s mission
through their collaborative commitment to excellence and the guidance of students to a successful place in society where they can continue to grow and learn.
Goals of the Dietetics Program
1. Provide education in a hands-on learning environment that prepares graduates to be competitive in the dietetics and food services
management field.
2. Graduates of the program will participate in and contribute to the profession.
3. Graduates who complete our program but do not complete an internship obtain meaningful employment in a field of their choice.
