Gannon University establishes 3+3 nutrition and dietetics articulation program agreement with D’Youville University

Gannon University and D’Youville University have signed an articulation agreement establishing a 3+3 nutrition and dietetics pathway between the two institutions.

Under this new agreement, students will complete three years of study in the nutrition program at Gannon and then transfer to D’Youville to earn a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics. Once at D’Youville, students will complete six semesters of study. The first two semesters will consist of didactic, pre-professional coursework to prepare to enter their ACEND®-accredited nutrition and dietetics coordinated program. The courses completed during this period will fulfill the requirements to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Gannon University.

The remaining four semesters at D’Youville will consist of professional coursework within their accredited coordinated program. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be eligible to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration national credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian. D’Youville will hold five seats in the program annually for eligible Gannon participants.
