The Army-Baylor Master’s Program in Nutrition, located at the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE) at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, represents a significant stride in military dietetics training. This active-duty, entry-level program has evolved from the previous Military-Baylor Graduate Program in Nutrition (GPN) into a more comprehensive 24-month integrated program.
At MEDCoE, you complete 66 credit hours covering clinical and humanitarian nutrition, food service, performance nutrition, research, and leadership. You also complete 1,350 hours of supervised experiential learning at civilian, Department of Veterans Affairs, and military treatment facilities.
After completing the program, you receive a Master of Nutrition Science degree from Baylor University and become eligible for the Commission on Dietetic Registration credentialing exam. You must obtain the applicable RD or RDN credential to maintain the 65C Area of Concentration and fulfill the Active Duty Service Obligation stated in the current program terms.
To apply, submit your application through the Dietetic Internship Centralized Application Services (DICAS). The requirements include having a bachelor’s degree (or being in the final semester of undergraduate study), a minimum 3.0 overall GPA, and specific GRE scores—a minimum of 148 in both Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning, 3.5 in Analytical Writing, and a combined GRE score of at least 300.
The program combines graduate coursework with supervised practice in clinical care, performance nutrition, food service, research, and other military nutrition settings. Contact Marcus to compare your academic record and commissioning qualifications with the current requirements.
