Why Earn an Online MS in Nutrition from Adelphi?
In addition to building essential skills for your nutrition career, graduate education is becoming more important for careers that require licensure. As of January 1, 2024, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will require those eligible for the Registration Examination for Dietitians to hold a master’s degree.
Though this requirement won’t affect the certification of currently registered dietitians, the trend of postsecondary education is becoming a norm in nutrition. Earning an MS in Nutrition can provide skills to increase your hireability to potential employers or advancement within your current organization. More than that, for RDs and non RDs alike, our program gives students a unique insight into community-based nutrition, and provides them with the skills needed to serve people with a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Through project-based learning and optional experiential opportunities, our students are able to develop a deeper comprehension of many health concerns including diabetes, obesity, nutrition education and food insecurity as well as the ways that public policies impact nutritional health on a community scale.
We also recognize how important it is for healthcare professionals to be able to understand and explain research to their patients and clients.
