The goal of our Master's Program is to enhance students' knowledge of nutrition by integrating resources and expertise across campus. The research interests of our graduate faculty encompass many different aspects of nutrition including experimental, clinical, public health, education, policy and human and community development.<br>Experimental Nutrition: This area involves conducting research and experiments to understand how different nutrients, foods, or dietary interventions impact human health and well-being. It encompasses studies on metabolism, nutrient absorption, and the effects of specific diets on various health outcomes.<br>Clinical Nutrition: Clinical nutrition involves the application of nutrition principles to prevent and manage diseases or medical conditions. This area focuses on personalized nutrition plans for patients with specific health issues, like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or gastrointestinal disorders.<br>Public Health Nutrition: Public health nutrition is concerned with promoting optimal nutrition and dietary habits at the population level to prevent nutrition-related diseases and improve overall health. This includes initiatives related to food policy, community nutrition programs, and addressing nutrition disparities.<br>Nutrition Education: This area concentrates on developing effective educational programs and strategies to improve nutrition knowledge and behavior among individuals, families, or communities. Nutrition educators play a vital role in promoting healthy eating habits and empowering people to make informed food choices.<br>Nutrition Policy: Nutrition policy researchers focus on analyzing and shaping policies related to food, nutrition labeling, food safety, and food access. Their work can influence government decisions and public health initiatives related to nutrition.<br>Human and Community Development: This area explores how nutrition impacts human development across the lifespan, from prenatal nutrition and early childhood nutrition to nutrition in aging populations. It might also delve into community-based interventions and their impact on overall well-being.
