PhD in Nutrition Sciences

The doctoral version, with its nutrition specialization, provides advanced training in nutritional science and prepares graduates to teach and carry out independent research. Students investigate how nutrition and health connect, help communicate nutrition ideas to the public, and gain training in statistical and research techniques. The degree is taught on campus. Applicants should review the departmental expectations, speak with a program representative about assistantships and other funding, and begin the online application once they are ready. Detailed coursework and credit rules are kept in the university catalog, so questions about the plan of study are best sent to the department. Financial aid guidance is also available through the central aid office.
