International Student Information

Eastern Michigan University’s CP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. eatrightpro.org/acend

EMU’s CP does not allow for students to complete supervised practice experiences outside of the United States. Students must reside in the U.S. to complete the program. Based on United States Immigration Guidelines, International students who live in the U.S. may or may not be eligible for the distance-online program; eligibility is dependent on Visa type. Visit emich.edu/international/ for more information related to being an international student at EMU.

International students who wish to be in the CP must follow certain guidelines.

Students holding an F-1 Visa cannot complete the CP online; they must be in the on-campus cohort. International students need to contact the International Admissions Office for information related to status, transcript review if applicable, and anything related to admissions into the University. Students should also review the website for EMU’s Office of International Students.

Students who have earned a degree from a foreign university (even if the student is a U.S. Citizen) must have their transcripts reviewed based on EMU protocol using the approved procedure. Visit emich.edu/admissions/international/undergraduates/how-to-apply.php for detailed information and instruction.

EMU offers a Master of Science in Human Nutrition degree via distance education, which does not lead to eligibility to sit for the registration exam to become an RD/RDN. This Program is different from the MS in Dietetics (Coordinated Program), is not accredited by ACEND and does not provide supervised practice experiences. You may live outside of the United States to complete the Master of Science in Human Nutrition degree.

For more information about this degree, please contact Dr. Alice Jo Rainville at arainvill@emich.edu.
