Master's Capstone Project

The capstone project provides you an opportunity to apply your knowledge of dietetics to research, develop and implement a unique program prior to graduation. You are paired with an expert in the field as your mentor and also work closely with the DI/MS Director for guidance and support. The capstone is an excellent example of your work and valuable when applying for dietitian positions. The capstone experience will validate your leadership skills in the dietetics field.

As I approached graduating with my bachelor's, I knew I wanted to strengthen my foundational knowledge and skills further in nutrition/dietetics. Concordia's DI/MS program allowed me to do exactly that through its cultivating courses, compassionate professors, and numerous opportunities to gain real-world experience. My time spent in this program has grown me in ways I could never have imagined, and I am excited to enter the world as a confident and capable Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
