MS in Nutrition : School of Health Sciences : Simmons College

The Master of Science in Nutrition and Health Promotion is a versatile degree that emphasizes community nutrition. Students are prepared for a wide range of careers as health educators, researchers, personal trainers, public health planners, and more. The program can be completed in one academic year including summer session, or two to four years of part-time study (for U.S. students only). Classes are offered in the evening, and some courses are available on weekends and online.

In addition to completing nutrition and health promotion courses, the master's program includes a research project requirement. Students also may choose relevant electives from other Simmons graduate programs, including education, health care administration, library and information science, and communications management.

The Master of Science in Nutrition and Health Promotion is designed for students with backgrounds in:

health education,
athletic training,
exercise physiology, and
physical education.

Those with bachelor's degrees in other fields, including career changers, are also welcome to apply; however, they must complete certain science and nutrition prerequisites.
