Designed for undergraduate dietetics students, students returning to obtain ADA verification status, students in preprofessional programs including nursing, dental, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dental hygiene, pharmacy, medical, and physician's assistants. ISU students with access to the classroom Disease and Medical Nutrition Therapy courses may not enroll in the online courses.

Taking the courses in sequential order is recommended but not necessary for some students. Each course is one undergraduate credit.

The FSHN 461 and 464 series are offered each semester. A maximum of four credits per semester is allowed unless the instructor grants permission for more credits.

Each course includes a knowledge component, assigned readings, a case study assignment, and an exam. Participate as assigned in chat rooms and bulletin board postings. Case studies must be completed and submitted for grading prior to requesting the exam. Exams will be mailed or e-mailed to proctors who administer exams. Exams are returned to the instructor for scoring.

Dietetics students are required to submit a letter to the instructor from the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) director at the institution where they will be pursuing DPD verification, that: 1. verifies the student has the appropriate prerequisites to take the course; and 2. modules required for DPD verification from that institution. Other pre-professional students are required to submit a letter from their academic adviser vertifying that they have the appropriate prerequisites to take the course.
