Please note: This program DOES NOT prepare students to become Registered Dietitians. Students who are interested in becoming dietitians must complete the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) Certificate. Students can complete the MS in Nutrition and Food Science and the AND Certificate simultaneously, with some courses from the master’s program substituting for courses in the Didactic Program. In order to be in the combined program, prospective students must apply to each program separately. Read more information about completing these programs at the same time.
