Re: Question about schools

I don't think so - I believe the program has to be ACEND accredited in

order to qualify for an internship (I think ACEND used to be CADE?).

The Dietetics program needs to be accredited in order for it to count toward an

internship. At least that's how it was a few years ago when I was in school.
