"I really enjoy the incredible fellow students with whom I share classes. They are all so incredibly bright and talented, but also funny, caring, warm, and so diverse—I am learning something new every day even beyond what I'm getting in the classroom."SPECIALTY AREA
Public Health Nutrition
Public Health Nutrition is a program of study within the Division of Community Health and Human Development, which emphasizes the application of food and nutrition knowledge and research to the improvement of the health of populations.
The focus in public health is at the population level. Students in Public Health Nutrition will gain a perspective on how public policy affects health and how we can affect policy; on national, state, and local community programs designed to improve the nutritional status of the population as a whole and those at particular risk; on the social and behavioral factors that impact health in general and nutritional factors specifically; and on the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs to improve the nutritional status of the population or subgroups in the population.
