Program Overview
Degrees offered are the Master of Science (M.S.) and the Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in Nutrition (online and in-person options) and the Doctor of Philosophy in Public Health with a concentration in Nutrition. Studies in the Department emphasize nutrition from cells to communities, including nutritional biochemistry and physiology, nutritional epidemiology, nutrition education, and community nutrition. Students may choose to work in one of three research clusters: Nutrients and Bioactives for Health, Community-Engaged Nutrition Research Group, or Translational Nutrition Research Initiative. The Master of Science program prepares graduates for doctoral studies in nutrition and for careers in research, clinical nutrition, community nutrition, or nutrition education. Programs of study and research are planned on an individual basis by each student and his/her committee to support the individual's research and career goals. Students select from courses in the department and from other graduate programs in the University, such as: Animal Science, Biology, Biostatistics, Community Health Studies, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Kinesiology, Food Science or Molecular and Cellular Biology. |
