The master of science in clinical nutrition (M.S.C.N.) is a 31-credit, hybrid, clinically focused, graduate degree program designed
exclusively for the registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). The program offers a thesis and nonthesis option.
Our program prepares graduates with the advanced knowledge, expanded skills, and
intellectual maturity necessary to become progressive, innovative, and interprofessional
practitioners and leaders in the dynamic health care environment. The program utilizes
an online learning environment and virtual face-to-face meetings. Students are expected
to come to campus three times during their course of study.
Students are prepared with the critical thinking and scientific skills needed for
advanced-level clinical practice, management, and leadership positions. Our program
instills an appreciation for interprofessional collaboration and education, and provides
opportunities to achieve expanded roles in health promotion, disease prevention, and
intervention for a 21st-century multicultural society.
