In addition to the DICAS application, all applicants interested in applying to our program must submit a supplemental application. Use the proposed rotation schedule template as a tool to organize rotation sites, dates, and preceptor information.

BWS DI applicants have a couple of choices to make when filling out their supplemental application, such as the choice between part-time or full-time AND whether or not to select the DI-Only pathway or MS/DI pathway.

DI-Only vs MS/DI

Applicants can choose to complete only the dietetic internship or choose one of our MS/DI partners depending on where they are in their RD2Be journey. You can learn about all of our MS/DI Partners here.

For those applying to the MS/DI pathway, applicants must align their rotation schedule dates with the MS/DI curriculum timeline for the graduate program that they are applying for. Each curriculum timeline may be found on the graduate program pages, and other important dates for the MS/DI pathway may be found here.

DI-Only Pathway

Great for applicants who…

  • already have a master’s degree
  • are currently pursuing a master’s degree
  • plan to apply to a master’s program that is not a BWS DI MS program partner

Program Length: 8 months or 12 months

MS/DI Pathway

Great for applicants who…

  • are just graduating from their undergrad
  • are interested in applying to one of our MS/DI partners
  • want to complete their MS and DI together to sit for the RD Exam sooner

Program Length: 17-26 months (varies depending on chosen partner)

Full-Time vs Part-Time

To assist in your decision, here is what to consider when choosing between the full-time and part-time tracks:

Full-Time Part-Time
Total Internship Duration 8 months 12 months
Curriculum Duration* 8 months 8 months
Minimum Rotation Hours Per Week Interns typically work 40 hours/week 20 hours

*All interns, regardless of part-time or full-time status, will follow the same didactic curriculum timeline, but part-time interns will have additional time to complete their rotations.
