Master of Science (MS) in Human Nutrition

University of Alabama

The Master of Science in Human Nutrition is a 30 credit-hour program designed to prepare nutrition professionals to practice dietetics at an advanced level and/or to pursue doctoral study. The program develops research skills, fosters independent thought, and provides up-to-date knowledge in food and nutrition. Applicants can choose to pursue the major without a concentration (Generalist Track) or they may select from the Community Nutrition or Clinical Nutrition concentrations to provide a more in-depth study of their chosen area. The program is designed for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and those pursuing the credential. The program can be completed by a dietetic intern or student with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition or another discipline who has completed the required prerequisites.
