The Food and Nutrition Program area within the School of Family and Consumer Sciences offers a 15-semester hour graduate certificate in Food and Nutrition. Students will be able to pursue a concentrated study of food and nutrition through graduate coursework, which upon completion would yield a graduate certificate in this area of study. The Certificate curriculum includes studies in nutrient metabolism, food science, and nutritional principles related to health and disease. For a variety of student career goals, the Certificate Program provides knowledge of food and nutrition that is applicable to many health care, business, professional, and personal situations involving nutrition. The Food and Nutrition Graduate Certificate may be desired by students currently pursuing other graduate degree programs (e.g. public health; human movement, sport, and leisure studies; biological sciences), allied health professions, or the Dietetic Internship who have an interest in advanced study of food and nutrition but do not wish to complete a graduate degree.
