w88 casino games login programs receive accreditation

Dietetic internship program and undergraduate w88 casino games login program continue to meet national standards.

The Dietetic Internship w88 casino games login and the Undergraduate Dietetic Programs in the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources (CABNR) received renewal of their accreditation. Both programs underwent a standard 10-year reevaluation which included a site visit by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and w88 casino games login (ACEND).

"Student success is fundamental to the CABNR mission and the accreditation of our w88 casino games login programs speaks volumes of the quality of our faculty and their dedication to providing the highest level of educational experience for our students," Ron Pardini, interim dean of CABNR, said.

The University's Undergraduate Dietetic Program is one of only two programs in Nevada. The classes in this major are geared toward the dietetic field with a science and food course emphasis that is different from the nutritional science major which focuses on nutrition in society, agriculture and medicine. The re-w88 casino games login assures that the program will continue at the University.

"It is a very long process," Judith Ashley, professor of w88 casino games login, said. "The site visit is three days of intense scrutiny with participation by administrators, faculty, and current students and alumni to assure that our program is meeting the standards for national accreditation."

Graduates of the undergraduate w88 casino games login who are interesting in becoming a registered dietitian are encouraged to apply to dietetic internships around the country.

"The w88 casino games login internships are very competitive with only a 50 percent acceptance rate," Ashley said.

According to Karon Felten, the University's dietetic internship program director, the internship program started in 1990, received full w88 casino games login in 1998 and received reaccreditation in 2013. Every 10 years, the program is reevaluated by the w88 casino games login council.

"ACEND conducted the three-day on-site interview last October where they interviewed me, along with current and past interns," Felten said.

The w88 casino games login's internship program is available to 14 post-graduate students. The internship opportunity lasts for a seven-month period where students receive hands-on clinical and foodservice experience in various medical centers in Northern Nevada.

The accreditation process of the w88 casino games login internship program included the on-site visit, as well as a self-study to evaluate if the program is meeting its 23 standards. The completion of the program allows interns to take the registered dietitian credentialing examination.

"We will continue to meet all of the standards," Felten said.
