It is a requirement for admission that all applicants be proficient in both, Spanish and English. Courses and supervised experiential learning can be taught in English or Spanish, although the majority are taught in Spanish, Puerto Rico’s mother tongue. English proficiency is required to be able to study on campus and supervised experiential learning sites, to use educational materials and textbooks in English, and to perform on course exams and learning activities in English. This requirement is implemented to promote English proficiency, as a strategy in preparation for the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists (RDN) administered in English.
