Application Process

Applicants to the DI/MS program must:

• Submit an application via the online Dietetic Internship Centralized Application System (DICAS). DICAS will be available in August 2024 for spring 2025 acceptance. The online application must be completed for our program by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the deadline date designated by DICAS. The DICAS fee is $50 for the first application submitted and $25 for each additional application.
  

• Write and submit a personalized letter of interest to the program as part of the DICAS application (personal statement). The personal statement should include why you are selecting Concordia College's combined DI/MS program and future goals in relation to your experiences.

• Submit transcripts from the U.S. regionally accredited undergraduate institution granting your baccalaureate degree as part of the DICAS application. Upon acceptance into the program, an official transcript showing your degree and date conferred should be mailed to the program director.

This has been such a challenging and rewarding experience that I will never forget. My passion for the profession has grown, and I know that I will leave this program to continue to pursue improving myself as a dietitian, professional, and person.
