The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND®) periodically reviews the practices, procedures and educational outcomes of its accredited programs. This process includes the consideration of third-party comments regarding the program's compliance with the accreditation standards, which may be obtained from the Academy website eatrightPRO.org/acend. Written comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of the educational program and should be sent to the attention of Mary Ann Taccona, MBA, RDN, LDN, ACEND® at acendreports@eatright.org.
Below are programs that submitted an application for Candidacy for Accreditation. Written third-party comments must be received 30 days prior to the program's scheduled site visit and will be forwarded to the appropriate program director for response during the review process.
