-Degree Requirements-
The degree program is particularly well-suited to nutrition professionals and physicians who are interested in improving the health of the public through nutrition policy and programs. The PhD in Public Health: Community Nutrition prepares graduates to assume leadership roles in research, academia, government agencies, private industry and community-based organizations.

Students in the PhD in Public Health Community Nutrition will complete a shared core of public health courses, as well as required courses in community nutrition methods and content. An additional 12 credits must be completed in a Secondary Area of specialization, such as Health Promotion & Disease Prevention, Epidemiology or Health Policy. This degree requires a minimum of 75 credits. (Note: The required nutrition coursework has prerequisites of biochemistry, physiology, advanced nutrition and lifecycle/community nutrition.)

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 conduct research off campus in community-based settings, i.e., acute and long-term care facilities, congregate meal sites, and home care settings.
