The Department of Nutrition and Health Science is committed to delivering exceptional educational experiences and advancing our respective disciplines through research and service to develop evidence-based practices that promote optimal health while respecting the unique qualities of diverse populations.
We depend on the generous support of community partners, alumni, and friends to augment the diverse, real-world opportunities to our students in the accredited undergraduate programs of Public Health, Dietetics, Radiography, and Respiratory Therapy. At the graduate level, We deliver two MS programs, one in Nutrition and Dietetics which is enriched with an accredited Dietetic Internship. We launched a second MS in Health Science last fall that is focused on Biostatistics and Epidemiology.
Take a look at some of the activities and students from the Public Health program:

This year students in the Dietetics program have been introduced to laboratory research in our newly equipped laboratories affectionately called the “Nacho Lab”. These laboratories facilitate assessment, biomarker collection, sample processing storage, and analysis. Your support of the Department of Nutrition and Health Science will enable our Nutrition Laboratories to grow, providing important opportunities for students.

Many of our graduate students in the Nutrition and Dietetics program find relevant work experiences across the university in areas such as Athletics, and the College of Health: Healthy Lifestyle Center, to help support themselves during the coursework phase of the Masters program. Your gifts to scholarships can help support these students during the internship phase of the program which does not allow outside employment.
