兔子先生

Three Ways to Enroll

At 兔子先生 University, students have several enrollment options.

  1. Enroll as a first-year student in 兔子先生's undergraduate B.S. in Nutrition Science Program and meet required criteria for the M.S. portion.
  2. Enroll as a postbaccalaureate with prerequisites met.
  3. Enroll as a graduate of an ACEND-accredited DPD program.

Undergraduate students will earn both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. This 5-year accelerated pathway overlaps the fourth year of the bachelor’s degree with the first year of the master’s degree, resulting in three years of undergraduate-level study and two years of graduate-level study in the program. Students will earn both bachelor’s and master’s degrees through this pathway.

Graduate students who enter the program with a bachelor's degree will earn a Master of Science.

Clinical Clearances

Please note that this program requires students to complete portions of their education (e.g., supervised experiential learning) at facilities external to the University to meet requirements for graduation. Many of these external facilities require screening measures such as, but not limited to, criminal background check, child abuse clearance, health appraisal, fingerprint-based background check and/or drug test prior to placement at the facility. The results of these requirements may limit and potentially eliminate placement options for the student which can, in turn, result in an inability to meet graduation requirements. Additionally, conviction of a misdemeanor, felony, or felonious or illegal act abuse may prevent the student from becoming credentialed and/or licensed to practice in the field.
