Program description
General overview of program:
There are a number of ways to prepare to take the certification exam through the Association for
Nutrition and Foodservice Professionals (ANFP). Preparation through Rutgers University, School
of Health Related Professions (SHRP) provides students with 15 credits of college-level courses
that may be considered prerequisite work for other degree programs in health-related
professions. The program has both online, classes and 150 hours of field experience supervised
by a Registered Dietitian. Students must earn a B- or better in each course to graduate with a
certificate. Preparation at Rutgers can be through joint admissions programs with Essex County,
Hudson County, Raritan Valley, and Ocean County Community Colleges or directly through
Rutgers if the program course prerequisites have been met. The Dietary Manager program
prepares students to take the certification exam through the ANFP to be a CDM.
The Rutgers Dietary Managers Certificate program is a one semester full-time program which
includes four courses (15 credits):
NUTR1100 Food Service Management
NUTR1101 Sanitation and Food Safety

Graduates of our program will have completed the coursework and obtain a certificate from
Rutgers. In addition, they are eligible to take the national certification exam to earn the CDM
credential.
