The coordinated masters program (MS/CP)
leads to the master of science degree in Human Nutrition
and Food Science. Students will generally complete their
program research requirement in the Community /Public
Health Nutrition area.
The coordinated masters program (MS/CP)
includes didactic instruction which meets the Foundation
Knowledge and Skills and 900 hours of supervised practice
which meet the Core Competencies for Dietitians. Graduates
of the program are eligible to take the national examination
for Registered Dietitians.
The program is developmentally accredited
by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education
of the
American Dietetic Association (120 S. Riverside
Plaza, Chicago, IL 60606-6995; 312-899-0040, ext 5400).
Students with a B.S. degree in nutrition,
food science, or a basic science such as biology,
chemistry, microbiology, or physiology usually have
an appropriate foundation for a graduate program in
human nutrition. Students from the social sciences
usually need to make up deficiencies in physiology,
general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry,
and college algebra prior to admission.
