Public Health Nutrition Program

At the core of the Public Health Nutrition Program is an emphasis on equity and food justice--equipping graduates to assume leadership roles and create positive, real-world impacts on the health of vulnerable populations around the world. Taught by an interdisciplinary faculty, our program offers an array of courses and dynamic curriculum that showcases the integration of nutrition at the center of public health practice and allows for an academic experience tailored to a student’s individual interests, skill set and career objectives. With a focus on research and professional development, our faculty encourage student involvement in their research on topics including the role of nutrition in chronic diseases, research methodology, community food environments, nutrition marketing policy, maternal and child health, and more.
