The Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences offers advanced degree programs in Nutritional Sciences. Through its interdisciplinary Division of Nutritional Sciences, doctoral and master's students examine how environmental factors and nutrients interact to influence biochemistry, physiology, and disease progression. The Master of Science program delivers comprehensive, multidisciplinary education while allowing specialization in students' chosen focus areas. This program equips graduates for diverse professional paths in healthcare, research, education, wellness, and nutrition-related industries. Candidates may select between a thesis track (Plan A) or non-thesis track (Plan B). Those opting for Plan A can collaborate with renowned faculty on cutting-edge basic and clinical research projects. Both program tracks mandate successful completion of coursework and an oral comprehensive examination, with specific requirements detailed in the MS Handbook. The typical program duration ranges from two to three years for completing all academic and research components.
