The Central Valley WIC Dietetic Internship currently offers two tracks:
Track 1: Combined Master's Degree/Dietetic Internship Program, in collaboration with Russell Sage College, for applicants who need a fully online master's degree and an on-site dietetic internship;
Track 2: Dietetic Internship Program, for applicants who already have a master's degree.
"The structure of your program is awesome, with just two classes at a time. I think this is the best way to set it up, because you get to work and prepare for your rotations. It's more manageable than I thought it would be. I did a lot of research, and your program has been so flexible." - 2022 MS/DI Intern Graduate
