The Department of Nutritional Sciences provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, covering fundamental science, clinical practice, and public health nutrition. Investigations span from molecular research to population-based studies. Qualified candidates with relevant health science backgrounds may enroll following the School of Graduate Studies' standard admission policies. These graduate research programs (MSc and PhD) focus on cultivating students' capabilities to formulate nutrition-related research questions, integrate concepts and methodologies, evaluate and explain results, communicate discoveries to colleagues, and broaden their understanding of human nutrition. Consequently, the curriculum strongly emphasizes original research and thesis work (refer to student and thesis listings).
