Pepperdine University Nutrition Supervised Practice Program

We could not be more proud of our recent graduates of the MS in Nutrition and Health Science and supervised practice program who all passed their RD exam on the first attempt and within 3 months of completing the program. They have each secured positions as dietitians and are on their way to becoming leaders in the profession! Go Waves!

Congratulations to our class of 2025 on your graduation from the M.S. in Nutrition and Health Science and supervised practice hours! On June 7th we celebrated with family, friends and preceptors at a graduation brunch. Three of our wonderful preceptors were honored with preceptor of the year awards: Kelly McHugh, MS, RDN from St. Johns Regional Medical Center; Amy Motley Jones, DCN, RDN from Ventura County Medical Center and Sarah Phillips, RDN, Director of Nutrition Services at Conejo School District. Thank you to all the preceptors who supported the students in their supervised training and who joined us in the celebration brunch! Thank you to family and friends for your support of the students as they completed their program. We are so excited for your next steps as future RDNs!
