Comprehensive ExaminationsAll candidates are required to perform satisfactorily on a written examination of their program of study.

Curriculum Option I: Includes NFA 835, Community Nutrition Practicum *Option II: Includes NFA 830 and NFA 831 (Available only to students that have applied for and been accepted into Dietetic Internship.)
Prerequisites may add additional hours. *Option II--Only graduate students completing the coursework in EKU's MS in Community Nutrition are eligible to apply for EKU's Dietetic Internship. If a student elects to apply, and is not accepted, they may either enroll in NFA 835 which is open to all students or choose to reapply for the internship at the next application date. Successful completion of NFA 835 will complete the MS in Community Nutrition requirements, but does not lead to RD eligibility. The EKU Dietetic Internship participates in the preselect option to computer matching. In the preselection process, the program can select 8 graduate students per year who have met the admission requirements for the DI. Those who plan to participate in the preselect process must apply by Jan 15 for the August starting date. The applicant will be notified on or before February 1 confirming his/her acceptance or rejection into the program through the preselect process. If preselected, the applicant will be required to complete a form including social security number and original signature. The program director must submit this form to D&D Digital Systems, Inc. to ensure that the applicant will not participate in the April computer match. If the applicant is not preselected through the computer matching process, they may apply to any other DI/AP4 through the computer matching process. D&D Digital Systems may be contacted at 515-292-0490 or dnd@netins.net.
