Program Format
The Master of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health is delivered in a format to accommodate working professionals and those who travel to attend the program. The 50-credit degree is designed to be completed in two years of concentrated study. At this pace, students will engage in approximately 400-450 hours of class time each year. This schedule includes 12-15 weekend intensives per year (4-5 per trimester) and 1-2 weeklong intensives per year. Weekend intensives are scheduled Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Weeklong intensives are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Local students can opt to take select elective courses on weeknights. The program can be modified to a less-intensive schedule and can be completed in up to five years. Each trimester, a schedule of courses is published for registration and students can tailor their courses to accommodate their personal and professional goals.
In addition to core courses, students are required to take a minimum of four elective credits. A variety of elective courses are offered to meet students’ specific interests. The four-elective credits may be met at any time during the course of the program. The clinic/practicum/thesis and elective credits will be scheduled in addition to students’ core program schedule.
