Curriculum

The online program follows the same curriculum as the on-campus nutritional sciences degree, option in public health nutrition.  We use a strong physical and social science background to study the many aspects of human health, through the frame of nutrition. Flexible and individualized curriculum allows you to pursue your desired professional path. Hands-on experiences and service learning is prioritized, beginning with shadowing public health nutrition professionals such as WIC nutritionists, school nutrition directors, Cooperative Extension educators, health coaches, public health educators and more. This gives you a direct look at the profession to ensure you have chosen the right career path. Additionally, service-learning opportunities allow you to use and practice skills learned in the classroom while simultaneously serving others through work with community organizations such as food resource centers, senior adult nutrition programs, school nutrition programs, early childhood programs and others.

To apply for the program, students must complete the OSU undergraduate application.
