At the School of Public Health in New Brunswick and Newark

The M.P.H. in public health nutrition prepares students to improve the nutrition and health of populations locally and globally. Dietary risk factors are the number one contributor to the global burden of disease, contributing to undernutrition, overweight and obesity, as well as diet-related, noncommunicable diseases. Through innovative coursework and a practicum, the M.P.H. in public health nutrition concentration will train diverse and skilled students and professionals who will be able to assess the nutritional and dietary needs of communities and design and evaluate programs and policies aimed at addressing those needs. This concentration is offered in partnership with the Department of Clinical and Preventive Nutrition Sciences in the Rutgers School of Health Professionals.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the Certified in Public Health Exam.
