Program Mission
To obtain a firm basis in critical thinking and up-to-date knowledge in nutrition to evaluate current developments in the field and assess program effectiveness.
Program Philosophy
Sage Graduate School’s Master of Science degree in Applied Nutrition is a community-oriented program with a strong focus on nutritional epidemiology, food and nutrition program evaluation, and the most up-to-date issues in the nutrition field. Graduates who hold a M.S. in Applied Nutrition are better candidate for employment in many organizations or agencies that hire individuals with advanced degrees, such as the New York State Department of Health and Cooperative Extension.
Working students, full-time students, and commuting students will find courses conveniently scheduled. Courses are offered during the daytime as well as evenings on a weekly, every-other-week, or weekend institute basis. Extensive use of distance learning will be incorporated. Some courses are held in convenient one-credit modules. Courses are non-sequential, allowing students to enter the program at any point in time.
