What will I learn?

The Master of Science in Nutrition prepares students to assume leadership positions in the nutrition field. The program is designed to enhance professional qualifications as a food and nutrition specialist. Challenging courses for the advanced study of nutrition are provided. The student chooses various electives to complement a core curriculum of nutrition science, research methods, biomedical statistics as well as communication, education and counseling skills. A choice of challenging electives enables students to pursue individual interests. Students also complete a research project as a culminating experience of the degree. The M.S. in Nutrition program is 36 credits. For students who have completed the LIU Post Dietetic Internship, the department accepts all 14 graduate credits from the Dietetic Internship program. The M.S. in Nutrition is NOT a route to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Applicants who are interested in becoming an RDN should consider our MS/RDN Professional Program.
