The programs in the Department of Hotel, Restaurant, Institution Management and Dietetics prepare students to enter the professions of hotel and restaurant management, foodservice management, and dietetics.

The department offers a bachelor of science degree in dietetics and a bachelor of science degree in hotel and restaurant management. Two programs, the coordinated program in dietetics and the didactic program in dietetics, lead to the bachelor of science degree in dietetics.

Coordinated program in dietetics (CPD)

Program I

The coordinated program prepares students for dietetics practice by integrating the 900-hour internship required by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) with the bachelor's degree program. Graduates of this program are immediately eligible for active membership in the ADA and may sit for the national credentialing examination to become a registered dietitian (RD).

The program is currently granted continuing accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312-899-5400.

The internship phase of the program consists of community nutrition, clinical nutrition, and foodservice management experiences. The dietetics program has contractual agreements with healthcare and foodservice organizations in Manhattan and across the state of Kansas to provide these supervised practice experiences. Students assigned to sites outside Manhattan continue to take courses online via the K-State Division of Continuing Education's K-State Online distance education program.

Participation in the internship phase of the program requires separate application and admission procedures. Students should contact the CPD program director during their sophomore year for information regarding the application process.

The program accepts a new class of students each semester to begin the internship. Applications are available at www.humec.ksu.edu/hrimd/ and are due by February 15 for fall semester admission and by September 25 for spring semester admission. Criteria for admission to the internship are:

1. Have an overall minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. No grade less than a C is allowed in natural sciences or professional studies courses.

2. Submit documentation of a minimum of 140 hours of dietetics-related work experience, either paid or volunteer. Documentation must include inclusive dates of the experience, name and address of facility, required experience project documentation, and a letter (on letterhead or with business card attached) from the supervisor verifying the information submitted. Contact information for the supervisor (phone number, e-mail address) also is required. The work experience must include:

· A minimum of 70 hours of food service experience. This may be obtained in the food production facility of a hospital, nursing home, school, summer camp, restaurant, or other foodservice operation serving the public.

· A minimum of 50 hours of experience in medical nutrition and community nutrition.

· A minimum of 20 hours continuous learning.

Guidelines for experience projects are included with the application.

3. Submit one official recommendation form from an individual who is acquainted with the student's knowledge of food, nutrition, and food service management, as well as the student's work history and work ethic.

4. Complete an interview with the coordinated program admissions committee. Dates for interviews are announced each semester.

Ongoing evaluation of the student's academic and internship performance is an important component in the coordinated program in dietetics. Evaluation is conducted by K-State faculty and preceptors in the supervised practice experiences. Students not performing at acceptable levels may be counseled out of the program.

At the conclusion of the program, CPD students are presented with a certificate of program completion along with an ADA verification statement, attesting to their successful completion of both academic and supervised practice experience requirements.

Didactic program in dietetics (DPD)

Program II

The didactic program in dietetics meets the academic requirements of the American Dietetic Association. After completion of this program, the graduate must obtain the 900 hours of supervised practice experience, required for eligibility to take the national Registration Examination for Dietitians, through an accredited, post-baccalaureate dietetic internship somewhere in the United States.

The program is currently granted continuing accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312-899-5400.

Contact the DPD director for information about admission to the didactic program in dietetics.
