NUTR 6000Nutrition Essentials: Bridging Disciplines for Better Health
This 7-week online introductory course in nutrition offers a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles of nutrition, focusing on how diet impacts overall health. Designed for students from diverse academic backgrounds, the course highlights the role of nutrition in disease prevention, treatment, and health optimization through an asynchronous learning format. Whether pursuing a career in healthcare or seeking to understand the essential components of a healthy lifestyle, this course provides valuable insights into the connections between nutrition, biology, and well-being.
This online course in nutritional epidemiology aims to draw on understanding epidemiologic studies of diet, nutrition, and chronic disease in populations. Students are introduced to study designs for , research in nutritional epidemiology through an asynchronous learning format. Students critically evaluate strengths and weaknesses of diet assessment methodologies and learn about statistical methods for analyzing diet-disease associations. Critical analysis of the literature and the review of population-based dietary data support students’ ability to determine best practices and evidence-based approaches.
This asynchronous online course expands on the content from Medical Nutrition Therapy I to expand principles behind and applications of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in human diseases and conditions including cardiovascular, metabolic, neoplastic, renal, pulmonary, critical illness, gastrointestinal/liver, and HIV disease, and organ transplantation. Students examine dietary guidelines for diseases and conditions, as well as the evidence behind the use of oral nutritional supplements, tube feeding, and intravenous (parenteral) nutrition. Students gain an understanding of and appreciation for pathophysiological bases of disease and injury within a context of evidence-based nutrition practice considerations. Through case studies, students integrate and apply their knowledge of nutrition science, metabolism, and physiology to effectively plan and manage the nutritional care of a variety of patients using a critical thinking approach to evidence-based MNT.
NUTR 6060Effective Nutrition Counseling and Health Education Skills
This online asynchronous course is designed to prepare future healthcare professionals on gaining effective nutrition counseling and health education skills. The essence of the course entails theory and application for promoting effective behavior change and cultural humility while addressing health care bias. Each session builds sequentially on the skills from each preceding session. The culmination of these skills will allow students to effectively develop skills for the role as nutrition counselor or health educator.
This required 14-week online seminar course is the first of a 2-semester seminar experience required for graduation with the Master of Science in Nutrition Science (MSNS) degree. Over the course of the two Capstone Project courses, students will develop, propose, revise, implement, and present their projects. The projects may vary from secondary analysis of existing data to applied or translational projects that demonstrate nutrition science knowledge and recommendations for policy change or quality improvement. This first course is designed to provide didactic content, support, and guidance to the development of a capstone scientific project which synthesizes the knowledge and professional competencies gained from other MSNS courses. The student will identify a faculty mentor to work closely with on the capstone project. The course will culminate in any necessary ethical approval and a detailed project proposal.
This online course introduces students to the applications of new technologies including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics as investigative approaches to understand the impact of diet and nutrition on human health and disease. Students will learn basic ‘omics analysis skills using publicly available data resources. Emphasis will be placed on integration of multi-omics approaches with a role for collaborative team science.
Courses are approved by the Nutrition Curriculum Committee The degree and major requirements displayed are intended as a guide for students entering in the Fall of 2026 and later. Students should consult with their academic program regarding final certifications and requirements for graduation.
This online asynchronous course will present content aimed at uncovering the role of precision nutrition in improving health, wellness, and disease prevention in humans. Students will learn the effects of the interactions of diet with genetics/epigenetics, microbiome, metabolism, environment, physical activity, and economical, social, and behavioral factors that contribute to overall health. Individualized nutritional plans to optimize health and reduce metabolic disease risk will be planned. This course will cover the growing field of precision nutrition with a focus on current methods and applications of individual disease risk assessments to design personalized recommendations for optimal health outcomes. It is based on assigned topics and readings covering a variety of emerging concepts in precision nutrition and in broader precision medicine approaches. Students will advance their knowledge in understanding dietary recommendations for population subgroups and how to refine recommendations informed by genetic background and deep phenotyping, coupled with emerging nutrition science findings in the peer-reviewed literature.
This 14-week online course introduces the learner to the etiology, prevalence, and pathophysiology of obesity in children and adults. This series of asynchronous sessions focuses on the biological, genetic, and environmental causes of obesity and highlights the impact of obesity on chronic disease.
