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.
