MA/MS in Nutrition

The Master of Science in Nutrition at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Pharmacy and Nutrition is a two-year, thesis-based graduate program delivered in person on the Saskatoon campus. Admission generally requires a four-year honours degree or equivalent from a recognized institution, with a minimum 70 percent cumulative weighted average over the final 60 credit units, and applicants need supervisor approval before applying. Research within the program spans clinical nutrition, community nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, dietary assessment and nutritional epidemiology, nutrition education and intervention, food security, food biotechnology, and nutrition services administration, reflecting the breadth of faculty expertise in the college. Admission runs on a rolling basis with September or January entry rather than a single annual deadline. It suits nutrition, dietetics, or related health science graduates who want structured thesis research training addressing real-world nutrition problems at the clinical, community, or population level, whether as preparation for further doctoral study or for research-oriented roles in health and food-related fields.
