Introduction
Prepare to embed nutrition into various career paths, from medicine to public health to dentistry and more during Columbia’s one-year master’s degree program. The curriculum includes required courses such as Introduction to Epidemiology for Nutritionists and electives such as Obesity: Etiology, Prevention, and Treatment. The program culminates in thesis research.
The Masters in Human Nutrition prepares students for careers in healthcare, academia, and industry, in the United States and abroad. In addition to acquiring broad and deep training in nutrition science, students end the year as stronger critical thinkers, better writers, and more confident public speakers. Our courses are designed to enhance nutrition knowledge and skills and are applicable to academic, research, and clinical settings. Besides core courses, students may choose to focus on one of three tracks: basic nutrition science, clinical nutrition, or public health nutrition.
