- The Department of Nutritional Sciences will offer an online Master of Science in Personalized Nutrition (MSPN) in the fall of 2021. The MSPN program is a professional degree that uniquely combines courses in nutrigenomics, clinical nutrition, and nutritional biochemistry to provide a foundation of knowledge and skills for Personalized Nutrition professionals. The Masters in Personalized Nutrition prepares students for careers in healthcare, academia, and industry. Personalized nutrition aims to take advantage of molecular understandings of nutrient-gene interactions by identifying genetic backgrounds that contribute to metabolic heterogeneities of various nutrients in the context of nutrition-relevant diseases. This program will build fundamental knowledge of this rapidly advancing field of nutrition. Students will gain genetic, biochemical, physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical understandings of nutrient metabolism to assess the unique nutritional needs of individuals to develop personalized prevision diet recommendations for the promotion of health and prevention of chronic diseases.
