In our dynamic health care environment, it is essential for health practitioners to develop skills for fostering improved health outcomes.
The Master of Science in Nutrition and Wellness program at Benedictine University provides a powerful foundation in nutrition science and wellness knowledge and applications. This degree serves as a portal to careers in health promotion and risk reduction, and community education. Learning at Benedictine University combines instructional expertise with individual initiative, creativity, and applications so that the adult learner will find the educational experience a stepping stone to professional success.
This program is not your traditional nutrition degree. It is unique by providing a strong evidence-based life science foundation coupled with a choice of a concentration. Offered exclusively online, students can complete this degree in as few as 16 months. Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition/dietetics may be able to progress at a faster pace as they may have already met course prerequisites prior to entering the program.
Designed for those who want to be a positive force of change in the world and help others make tangible lifestyle changes, the Benedictine University Master of Science (M.S.) in Nutrition and Wellness program prepares students to become vital ingredients in local-through-global nutrition and wellness programs.
This program creates and maintains a learning environment that focuses on critical thinking; acquisition of evidence-based comprehensive knowledge of the interrelationships between food and nutrition; and physical, mental and emotional health. Additionally, the ongoing development of applied knowledge on preventive and health-promotion concerns to diverse populations hones the professional skills required to be an exceptional health professional.
I love being an integral partner in promoting health via foods and nutrition programs that meet higher standards being set forth in K-12, health care, lodging, military, restaurants and convenience store channels. Tailored nutrition is key. One size does not fit all.
