MS Program in Nutrition at Columbia - Extended Deadline
This is to notify you that MS in Nutrition at Columbia application deadline has been extended to June 30, 2008. Nutrition is increasingly regarded as a critical and major modality in biomedical sciences, general healthcare and international health. Graduate education in nutrition provides an excellent foundation for medical, dental, or doctoral training, as well as for careers in the pharmaceutical industry, public health and international development.
To meet the growing demand for advanced training in human nutrition, Columbia University’s Institute of Human Nutrition has developed three tracks for its M.S. degree in nutrition. In addition to the core M.S. courses that can be completed on a full-time basis in one year, they offer electives in one of the three tracks or areas of focus. This allows graduate students to focus on: 1) basic nutrition science research; 2) nutrition and public health; or 3) clinical nutrition. Students complete their MS thesis in either basic science or clinical research under the mentorship of faculty from any of twenty-five departments and affiliated institutions.
The MS program currently enrolls 70 students from diverse academic backgrounds and nationalities including the U.S., China, Canada and Turkey. Graduates of the Institute of Human Nutrition MS program go on to medical and dental school, the health care industry, healthcare communications, and public health. Admissions are done on a rolling basis and financial aid is available to qualified students. Applicants to the MS program are required to have completed two years of chemistry, one year of biology, and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT).
