The field of nutritional science has unprecedented public interest.<br />

This is fostered by evolving links between diet and health, and the<br />

impact of one’s individual genetic makeup on nutrient utilization.<br />

The PhD degree program in Nutritional Sciences is interdisciplinary,<br />

with participating CALS, COM, CLAS, and CVM faculty directing<br />

research of doctoral students, where the full spectrum of Nutritional<br />

Sciences is available. Emphasis areas include basic nutritional<br />

sciences, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetics, immunology,<br />

physiology, and biostatistics.<br />

Students are admitted to the program after the Bachelor’s degree<br />

or a Master’s degree in nutritional sciences or a related field.<br />

Applicants should have a strong undergraduate background in<br />

biological sciences and chemistry. Experience in nutritional science is<br />

recommended. Deficiencies may be made up during the first year of<br />

graduate study.<br />
