The Nutrition and Dietetics master’s degree program with a concentration in Foods and Nutrition is for those who have credentials in the health professions (RD, RN, MD, DDS, CSW, or RPh), and are interested in advanced academic training in this field but who do not intend to become licensed in nutrition or dietetics.

Other Program Options

The material in these and the following sections applies only to the master's degree concentration in Foods & Nutrition (HOND-FNU). This program does not prepare students to be Registered Dietitians, or to otherwise practice the profession of dietetics.

If you wish to practice as a nutrition, or registered dietitian (RD), it is strongly recommended that you apply to the program in Clinical Nutrition (HOND-CNU 40), which leads to the RD credential.

If you are already a registered dietitian or RD-eligible, and would like advanced clinical dietetics training, it is recommended that you apply to the 34-credit Clinical Nutrition (HOND-CNU 34) program.
