Nutritional Science, MS

The MS in nutritional science prepares students to translate nutritional science into practical use for human health and wellness. Partnered with accomplished faculty, students immerse themselves in the latest nutrition topics and research as they develop practical understanding through internship experiences and their own guided research. Building on the scientific foundations of human nutrition, students learn strong writing and problem-solving skills, grow their computer literacy and increase their interpretive expertise. The sports nutrition track allows students to specialize in exercise science and the nutritional needs of athletes. Students in this track complete classes focusing on exercise physiology, hydration, electrolyte regulation, evaluation of sports supplements and more. The maternal-child health track allows students to complete classes that focus on promoting the health and well-being of women and children, including policy and advocacy, leadership development, medical nutrition therapy, communication and ethics.
