91 Dietetic Internship
About the 91 Dietetic Internship
The 91 DI is only available to students who have received/will receive at least one of the following degrees from our Department: BS in Nutritional Science, Concentration in Dietetics and/or MS in Nutritional Science (if SAGE MS degree, must be in Dietetics Concentration), and students are required to already have a graduate degree or be getting a graduate degree at the time of application.
The DI at San José State University is a minimum 1000 hours supervised-practice full-time program with placement sites located in San José and surrounding areas. Note: The 91 DI is competency-based: Even if an intern meets the minimum required hours, they will not be able to complete the DI unless they meet all the DI competencies (per preceptor assessment).
