ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Master of Science in Nutrition may be completed alone to achieve the M.S. in Nutrition degree, or it may be completed through the combined M.S. in Nutrition/Dietetic Internship program. If you are interested in enrolling in a master’s program without the Dietetic Internship, you’re welcome to apply for our fully online Master of Science in Nutrition (MSN). This program allows you to earn your master’s degree from wherever you live.

FORMAT

100% online

With an emphasis on community and poverty, ACU’s fully-online Master of Science in Nutrition provides comprehensive coursework for those who seek further knowledge in the field of nutrition and dietetics. If you are currently enrolled in a dietetic internship through an institution other than ACU or have previously completed a dietetic internship, 6 hours of credit will be awarded toward the master’s degree. Upon graduation, this program will qualify you to sit for the Registration Examination for Dietitians if you have also completed an accredited dietetic internship.
