The Public Health Nutrition program strongly emphasizes nutritional assessment, program planning, health behavior change and intervention strategies, research and evaluation methods, and policy development.
An emphasis on nutritional epidemiology helps prepare public health nutrition professionals to address significant issues in the field with up-to-date epidemiologic methods. It combines the strengths of our public health nutrition faculty with the expertise of other faculty in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health.
Students are provided with practical experience in different agencies and organizations and networking opportunities among public health nutrition professionals. Faculty are internationally recognized for their experience and expertise in public health nutrition and related areas.
