Dietetic Internships @ TAMU
TA Application
Texas A&M University has welcomed interns since 1982, with 34 graduating classes to date. It is a two-part program combining graduate or doctoral studies on the Texas A & M campus in College Station with a 29-week general emphasis internship at various rotation sites in Central Texas.
COMBINED GRADUATE PROGRAM
Students may receive masters or doctoral degrees in Nutrition or Food Science and Technology.
Nutrition: Pursuing an advanced degree in nutrition can help prepare you for a broad range of career opportunities in the field of nutrition. Many employers require Registered Dietitians to have a master's degree for advanced level or management positions. Texas A & M offers extensive modern research facilities and an inter-departmental faculty with a diverse range of research interests, including both animal and human nutrition.
Food Science and Technology: Nutrition continues to be a driving force in the food industry and this is an exciting time to be Registered Dietitian with a background in food science. Selecting this route can prepare you for jobs in product development, labeling, quality control, and market research, just to name a few. Texas A & M offers state-of-the-art food science facilities and exceptional research opportunities. Contact information:
Internship
Upon completion of graduate studies, interns relocate to Temple, Texas (approximately 90 miles from College Station) to complete the dietetic internship portion of the program (however, we do offer some rotations in the College Station area as well). Supervised practice sites include teaching hospitals, community and agricultural extension opportunities, outpatient clinics, consulting and entrepreneurial sites, and a variety of locations for institutional management experience. Successful completion of the internship allows interns to take the registration examination for dietitians.
Application information and forms can be found on this website. See contact information below if you have additional questions.
