Master of Science in Human Nutrition
Welcome
The Dietetics and Human Nutrition Programs
offer graduate course work leading to the Master of Science
(M.S.) degree in Human Nutrition.
Master of Science in Human
Nutrition (NUTR)
This program is designed for Registered
Dietitians (RD), or other health professionals, and those
with a strong interest in nutrition. It offers an advanced
degree with a focus on nutrition for health promotion and
chronic disease risk. It, like other programs at Eastern
Michigan University (EMU), is fully accredited through the
NCA Higher Learning Commission and we deliver this program
both on-campus and online.
EMU-Online's Master of Science
in Human Nutrition provides an in-depth study of nutrition
based on sound and current scientific evidence. Out-of-state
students can take EMU-Online courses at Michigan in-state
tuition rates.
This degree can enhance your current degree
and provide opportunities in health care, business, education
and the field of human performance. If you are a Registered
Dietitian, this degree will allow you to obtain Continuing
Professional Education toward maintaining your credential.
If you are not a Registered Dietitian and you plan to counsel
individuals or groups regarding dietary intake, the M.S.
in Human Nutrition is presently not recommended due to current
flux in Michigan state laws on licensure/registration.
