Financial Information and Program Completion Requirements

Financial Information

The estimated financial burden of the dietetic internship is shown below. It is also available at the embedded websites. An approximate estimate of the cost for the academic and experiential part of the internship includes:

Program Completion Requirements

Travel/Car Expenses Individualized
Housing $600/month (rent)
Books $200-300
Liability Insurance $100
Medical Exams $50 (dependent on insurance)
Basic Life Support Certification $60-140
Background Checks/Fingerprinting, Drug Testing $150
Uniform/Lab Coats/Business Casual Attire $200-300

Upon program completion, the intern must have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised practice, that includes the required academic coursework. The supervised practice, experience, and classes will begin in late August. Interns will be scheduled for an equivalent of 32 hours each week at a supervised practice site and attend academic classes on Mondays. Interns will be scheduled for 1 week off at Thanksgiving and 1 week for Christmas break. Since the internship is a professional program, interns will not be granted compensation time for hours worked beyond 40 hours.

The dietetic intern will participate according to the schedule assigned by the affiliating facility and will participate in his/her learning experiences on any day of the week scheduled by the supervising dietitian/preceptor. The dietetic intern can be excused for special meetings and workshops that have been approved by the DI program director and the supervising dietitian at the affiliating institution. Approved meetings or workshops can count towards the 32 hours per week of planned experience for the dietetic intern. 

Withdrawal and Refund of Tuition and Fees

If a student chooses to withdraw from the program and from Baylor University, the schedule of refund of tuition and fees can be located here. The procedure for withdrawal from the dietetic internship will follow the same guidelines as the withdrawal process from Baylor University which is found here.

Student Services

The dietetic intern will have access to all of the support services at Baylor University including the following ones for health services, counseling and testing services, financial aid services as noted below.

  • Academic Support Services
  • Health Services
  • Counseling Services
  • Testing Services
  • Financial Services

Professional Counseling of dietetic interns will be available in consultation with the DI program director as well as with the preceptors. Counseling for future professional ‘fits’ are available for the interns on their request. The program director has an open door policy along with providing confidentiality in conversations. If additional counseling is required, this will be on a referral basis to the appropriate services available to Baylor students or to appropriate private practice providers. Other professional counseling services will vary based on rotation and availability at site.
