Who approves these programs
Who approves these: Washington's Department of Health certifies dietitians: a bachelor's degree or higher in nutrition or dietetics, supervised practice, and the national registration exam from the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) (chapter 18.138 RCW). Idaho licenses dietitians through its Board of Medicine (DOPL): an ACEND-accredited program, ACEND-accredited supervised practice and the CDR exam (Idaho Code 54-3506). Since January 1, 2024, the CDR requires a graduate degree to take its exam, so the programs here are master's degrees. Source: Washington DOH's dietitian certification requirements.
Checked Sep 29, 2026 against each school's own page (ACEND's program directory is a search tool that couldn't be read here). Dates, costs and approvals change: confirm with the program before you pay. A listing isn't an endorsement, and schools don't pay to be listed here.
