Master's Program Requirements

During your degree program, you will take courses from a variety of the participating universities. You will enroll for all courses through your home institution, but the actual courses will be taught online from any of the participating universities and their faculty members. You do not need to travel to Kansas State University to complete your degree. However, we would be delighted to have you come to campus at any time and meet our faculty and resident graduate students. And we would love to have you come to campus and participate in commencement exercises when you complete your master's degree!

The speed of program completion will depend on how much time you can devote to taking classes. Many students in this program may be working professionals with job and family responsibilities which may limit the number of courses they can take each semester. The number of courses available each semester will grow as the program matures and more students enter the program. Taking two courses a semester (including summers) should allow you to complete the program in approximately three years. The more courses you take each semester, the faster you will finish.

The Master of Science in Dietetics is a 36-credit hour program. Students may elect to do the thesis option, which involves working with their major professor on a research project, writing a formal thesis, and finally defending that research before their supervisory committee.

Alternately, a student may choose the non-thesis option which entails taking an additional 6 hours of elective courses in lieu of the thesis research, followed by a comprehensive written and oral examination with their supervisory committee.
