Are you interested in pursuing a health professional career? The one-year Columbia University MS in Nutrition prepares pre-medical, dental and public health students to integrate nutrition into their work as future health professionals. They are looking for students who are seeking a challenging gap year, or special masters program that will strengthen their basic science knowledge, provide them an opportunity to complete an MS thesis, and develop strong communication skills. It is a great opportunity to spend one year in New York City and take advantage of the many exciting cultural and political activities in the city. Columbia welcomes students to come and visit the program and to speak with current students and alumni. The links below can give you a fuller picture of the program.
The primary IHN MS in Nutrition goals are to train students to:
- become competent in nutrition science and clinical and public health nutrition
- understand the importance of nutrition in health and disease prevention
- develop writing, critical thinking, and public-speaking skills
A dedicated faculty, combined with extensive university resources, provides close career advisement, opportunities for mock interviews, and professional support for resume and personal statement writing.
The program includes an intensive thesis project; students select their mentor from more than 100 university researchers. Each year some students present their work at a national meeting or contribute to a peer-reviewed journal article.
Graduate career paths include further training at medical, dental, and public health schools and a variety of doctoral programs. Other graduates secure positions in basic science research, healthcare, communications, clinical research, medical education, and public health.
