-Degree Requirements-
The PhD program in Dietetics & Nutrition prepares graduates to assume leadership roles in research, academia, government agencies, private industry and community-based organizations. FIU graduates have been successful in securing dynamic positions in universities, government and public programs. If you would rather be self-employed, a PhD is also the perfect credential to increase your stature and earning potential as a consultant.

All Dietetics & Nutrition PhD students will complete a 15-credit Research and Methods Core. In addition, each student will also develop, in consultation with his/her Dissertation Committee, an individualized plan of study for his/her advanced coursework in Dietetics & Nutrition Science. The plan of study may also include graduate courses from other departments in the SSPH or elsewhere in the university, as appropriate to achieve individual educational and research objectives. This degree requires a minimum of 55 credits after a MS or 75 credits after a BS degree.

Our doctoral program allows students to study and work side-by-side with nationally known educators, researchers and practitioners who serve as mentors. The Department of Dietetics & Nutrition has state-of-the-art laboratories for both research and teaching, however most of our faculty also conducts research off campus in community-based settings, i.e., acute and long-term care facilities, congregate meal sites, and home care settings.
