Overview
Overview
The graduate program provides learning opportunities for the purpose of fulfilling two goals:
- Provide interested individuals an opportunity to augment their knowledge and expertise in nutrition; and
- Provide Registered Dietitians an opportunity for advanced education, training, and research.
- Two major tracks of study leading to a MS in Nutritional Sciences are offered: Track I is a thesis track and Track II is a non-thesis track.
The Master of Science in Nutritional Sciencesoffered at the University of Oklahoma can be earned concurrently with the Master of Arts in Dietetics degree. If a student is not a Registered Dietitian and wishes to simultaneously gain the necessary coursework, the two degrees can be completed in tandem.
A Master of Science degree is a graduate degree, meaning it develops a different skill set than the Master of Arts professional degree. The Coordinated Program for Master of Arts in Dietetics (CPMA) degree program seeks to teach skills required for the profession of dietetics.
The MS program seeks to enhance critical thinking and problem solving, to teach students how to ask good questions, gather and evaluate information, and share new knowledge with others. Students do NOT have to complete an MS to be a registered dietitian, but it may help develop specific skills that can translate to the workplace, depending on the type of career the student desires.
Any student who wants to know more about the MA/MS dual option should speak with the CPMA and MS Program Directors.
