Out of State Registered Dietitian Disclosure
Registered Dietitian Disclosure
Central Washington University makes every effort to determine whether or not programs resulting in professional licensure or certification are recognized outside of Washington State.
Students are also encouraged to be proactive, as certification and licensure requirements vary by state and over time, and licensing board and contact information are provided on the primary licensure disclosure webpage.
The table below collects programs identified by CWU as leading to or endorsing dietitian registration which may be considered for out-of-state recognition:
