Master of Public Health - Nutrition
Program Overview
The Master of Public Health with a focus on Nutrition prepares students to acquire skills in nutrition practice and communication together with foundational knowledge in nutritional science and public health. Public Health Nutrition aims to promote the overall nutritional health among a population by exploring an array of influences on diet, nutrition, and health as socioeconomic, political, cultural, and environmental factors. Students in this non-thesis, professional degree program will complete a minimum of 42 hours of course work in nutrition, epidemiology, and health promotion through lecture courses, field experience, and a scholarly report. The Applied Public Health Practicum course will consist of no less than 240 contact hours of supervised field-based experience in public health sites. This program will prepare those in the nutrition field for work in public health, public policy, and national nutrition programs.
This new degree program will begin enrolling students in August 2022. Accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) will be sought for this major. The accreditation process is typically three years from the time of application. The Master of Public Health is a professional degree and offered on-campus only. Students interested in a Master of Science degree may consider our Health Promotion graduate study, which focuses on a social and ecological approach to health, health education and health promotion with both thesis and non-thesis as well as on-campus and distance learning options.
