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.
