Here is a suggested course schedule for completing the required courses at Memorial as well as some information on the probable schedule at Acadia.

Please note the following:

• Only the ten students who are admitted to the program will be eligible to take the three Pharmacy courses.
• You must obtain a minimum 55% grade  in the 17 Memorial courses and you must obtain a minimum 70% (B-) grade in each of the three Open Acadia courses in order to be able to continue on to third year at Acadia.
• The Acadia program requires that students complete a minor in order to graduate with the degree. Completion of three Chemistry courses plus Pharmacy 2004 (or Biochemistry 2201 / Human Biosciences 2001) with a grade of 55% or higher will satisfy this requirement and will lead to a minor in Chemistry.
• The following are the subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts at Acadia: Art, Classics, Comparative Religion, Economics, English, Environment and Sustainability Studies, French, German, Greek, History, Latin, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, Spanish and Theatre Studies. Courses in these subject areas are acceptable as Arts electives.
• The following are NOT ACCEPTABLE as Arts electives: Computer Science, Mathematics, Psychology and Human Kinetics and Recreation.
• Most courses in subject areas offered by the Faculties of Arts and HSS at Memorial University’s campuses are acceptable as Arts electives. It is recommended that students check on subject area eligibility in these cases by contacting adsu@mun.ca.

• In addition to undergraduate training from an accredited dietetic education program (Acadia), students must complete a dietetic practicum program. Securing practicum placements is a competitive process. Students are evaluated on their academic achievements, work experience, skills, and abilities.  For more information about Acadia’s Dietetic Practicum Program, please visit: https://nutrition.acadiau.ca/integrated-dietetic-internships.html.
  
  After successful completion of the practicum, students are eligible to write the national exam.  Upon successful completion of the national exam, new graduates will be eligible to practice as a registered dietitian.

• In order to be eligible to apply for the internship/practicum placements that are administered by the Acadia Dietetic Practicum Program, students must obtain a grade of at least B- in each of NUTR 1323, NUTR 1343,  NUTR2013 and NUTR 2023 taken at Acadia.
