Curriculum – Accelerated Bachelor to Master of Science in Nutrition
During the three-year online or in-person Accelerated Bachelor to Master of Nutrition program at NUNM, students complete a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses, with the curriculum divided into undergraduate courses in the first year, a blend of undergraduate and graduate courses in the second year, and all graduate courses in the final four quarters. All students complete a capstone project in the final two terms.
The curriculum is rooted in the philosophy that “Food is Medicine,” focusing on whole, unprocessed foods and traditional diets. You will gain a robust scientific foundation through courses in natural sciences, such as anatomy and physiology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and genetics. Simultaneously, students develop research skills, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and effective communication. The curriculum further emphasizes interpersonal growth, cultural competency, self-reflection, and self-management.
This comprehensive program prepares you for a career in nutrition and holistic health and offers undergraduate and graduate-level nutrition elective courses to deepen your knowledge in specific areas of interest.
