The Master of Science in Nutrition curriculum at NUNM helps you navigate the broad and dynamic field of nutrition with real-world experiences and skills. In your final year of the program, you’ll develop a capstone project with guidance from an experienced industry mentor to build your resume in your area of interest. This process helps students refine their career direction and network within their chosen field.
Some example capstone projects:
- A student implemented a healthier version of the free breakfast program at a local elementary school.
- A group of students created a plan to reforest urban and suburban centers to relieve food insecurity and mitigate poverty, and created a test project on NUNM’s campus.
- Two students worked together to create a cookbook inspired by the Pacific Northwest.
- A student worked to assess food security and sovereignty within the urban Native American community.
