There are only two schools in AR that offer a Masters in Dietetics, which includes an internship to be a RD. My daughter moved to Fayetteville after getting her BS in Dietetics at Conway and at this time can only take "elective courses" at Fayetteville toward her masters that will hopefully transfer. She will have to go to OK for her internship unless she moves back to central AR. She stresses a great need for dietitions in that area, especially for the VA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870905574657583796.post-188262304826259222007-12-18T15:30:00.000-06:002007-12-18T15:30:00.000-06:00You know Steve,if it were politically possible, I'd support a complete reorganization of our higher education system. We have UofA, UALR, ASU, UCA, Tech, West Ark, Montecello, UAPB, SAU...all trying to be a flagship school. Look at Iowa, they have University of Iowa (great law school, world renowned writing program, excellent med school). They have Iowa State, great ag school, world renowned vet school. We on the other hand have a whole bunch of "okay" schools. If we were to capitalize on the economies of scale, we too could have excellent programs in our state.Tax Payerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17079051156709587336noreply@blogger.com
