Overview

Human Nutrition at Drexel University also encompasses nutrition science — the application of the principles of biochemistry, physiology, and biology to human nutritional needs. The major includes two tracks: the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) track leading to a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist (RDN) career and the nutrition sciences track leading to work in research or industry.

Key facts:

Applicants to the program should specify their preferred track. Graduate study in human nutrition is offered on both a full-time and part-time basis. Students are admitted only in the fall or winter terms. Students in the DPD track are required to complete a comprehensive exam at the end of the first year of study and have the option to complete a research thesis. Students in the Nutrition Sciences track are required to complete a research thesis. In addition to the core curriculum, students select specialty courses relating to their major as well as electives.
