The Intercollege Nutrition PhD Program offered through the University of Hawaii Cancer Center (UHCC), John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), and collaborating departments enables students to design customized study paths with multiple focus areas. Candidates can pursue a Nutrition PhD specializing in human nutrition (covering biochemistry, cellular biology, public health, disease prevention, clinical applications, indigenous dietary practices, epidemiology, and cancer nutrition), animal nutrition (focusing on nutrient metabolism, physiology, health conditions, development, and aquatic species), or food science (including food chemistry, processing technology, microbiology, safety standards, and bioactive foods). Given the extensive academic offerings at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, students work closely with their advisors and graduate program coordinators to develop coursework aligned with their chosen specialization.

Applicants to the PhD in Nutritional Sciences Program should have a BS or MS degree in nutrition, food science, animal science, or a closely related biological science, relative to the program track they are interested in pursuing.

If admitted without sufficient preparation in these areas, these prerequisites must be made up early in the student's program.

GRE scores on the verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytic writing sections should each be greater than the 50th percentile. GRE scores are valid for five years from the test date.
TOEFL score of 600 on the paper-based test or 250 on the computer-based test or a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 100. ETS reports scores for two years after the test date.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score is accepted. The minimum required IELTS score is 7.0. IELTS scores have a recommended two year validity period
