In the State of Idaho, the University of Idaho and Idaho State University each have dietetic programs. The program at University of Idaho is a Coordinated Program, which includes the clinical and administrative experience, along with the didactic course work.

The program at Idaho State University is a didactic program (four-years) leading to a Bachelors degree followed by a post-baccalaureate internship. Admission to a coordinated program requires that all pre-requisites be completed prior to admission and the expectation is that you attend full time completing the course work and clinical/admin experiences as outlined in the course of study.
