Designed for those with backgrounds in exercise science, biology, chemistry, food service, public health and more, Winthrop University’s online M.S. in Human Nutrition provides evidence-based instruction in the fields of nutrition therapy and chronic disease prevention through a curriculum that aligns with the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).

The Department of Human Nutrition also offers a Combined Degree Program in Human Nutrition which meets the minimum academic requirements of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics of eligibility to apply to accredited dietetic internships. Eligible undergraduate students can earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in
a combined program format. Undergraduate students can complete 6 to 9 graduate credits in partial fulfillment of the 30 credits required for the M.S. degree during their senior year. These 6 to 9 credits may also fulfill the minimum dietetic program requirements. Students interested in the B.S. /M.S. program option must meet the program’s eligibility criteria. Students completing the B.S. /M.S. program may apply to Winthrop’s Accredited Dietetic Internship and are also eligible for the national application process for dietetic internships, if they meet the
department’s requirements for receiving a verification statement.
