The mission of the Coordinated Program is to provide a quality education program to produce qualified entry-level dietitians with enhanced skills in clinical dietetics with a concentration in nutrition focused outcomes capable of functioning as professional clinicians. The program consists of 64 credit hours of sequenced and integrated didactic and clinical courses. All didactic course work is offered at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City. Students complete supervised practice hours in various facilities throughout the state. Supervised practice provides a "hands-on" experience while working with patients exhibiting disease states studied in the classroom. The Program includes Food and Nutrition Service Management, Community, and Medical Nutrition Therapy Capstone Practicums. Upon successful completion of the required coursework and practice hours, the graduate is eligible to take the Registry Examination for Dietitians and receives a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences degree.

The program is currently granted accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312/899-0040, ext. 5400. The program is based on ACEND's 2008 eligibility requirements and accreditation standards.
