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 only allows students to complete supervised practice experiences in 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 depends on Visa type. Visit emich.edu/international/ for more information about being an international EMU student.

International students who wish to be in the CP must follow specific 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 pertaining 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 using the approved procedure based on EMU protocol. Visit emich.edu/admissions/international/undergraduates/how-to-apply.php for detailed information and instructions.

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 differs from the MS in Dietetics (Coordinated Program), is not accredited by ACEND, and does not provide supervised practice experiences. You may live outside the United States to complete the Master of Science in Human Nutrition degree.

For more information about this degree, please get in touch with Dr. Alice Jo Rainville at arainvill@emich.edu.
