Public Health (M.P.H.) w/a Concentration in Nutrition


IMPORTANT NOTE: Program is under review and subject to change/closure/replacement. Program is closed to new admits.

A concentration in public health nutrition applies the principles of these individual fields (nutrition and public health) to design programs, systems, policies, and environments that aim to improve or maintain the optimal health of populations and targeted groups. While the study of clinical nutrition focuses on the impact of food within the body, public health nutrition studies the influential factors of nutrition outside the body.
