Graduate Program -
Master of Science in Human Nutrition
Program mission
The
mission of the Master of Science program in human nutrition
is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for upper
level positions in human nutrition and prepare students for
doctoral study.
Program Goals
1. Human Nutrition graduate faculty members will develop
a curriculum of advanced study in human nutrition for students enrolled in the Master of Science in Human Nutrition program.
2. The M.S. in human nutrition curriculum will provide opportunities for
graduate students to refine and expand their undergraduate knowledge and
skills related to human nutrition research.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Degree candidates for
the M.S. in human nutrition will demonstrate the ability to evaluate
human nutrition research study results.
2. Degree candidates for
the M.S. in human nutrition will demonstrate the ability to formulate and
test human nutrition research questions.
