About Nutrition at Temple University

Through this 48-credit, 21-month graduate program, students will become eligible to sit for the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) exam. The curriculum includes a combination of coursework focused primarily in clinical, food service and community nutrition, and hands-on, professional learning in the field.

The Nutrition MPH program provides a unique public health lens for improving the nutrition of individuals and communities, particularly in urban settings and populations affected by health disparities. Nutrition is a major component of public health and an important field of study for chronic disease prevention efforts. The Nutrition MPH’s unique curriculum also allows students to develop knowledge and understanding of

food science as it pertains to food and nutrition product development and when making modifications to food;
food in the development and management of disease;
microbiology and food safety;
nutrient metabolism and the environmental, social and psychological aspects of eating and food;
pathophysiology and nutritional biochemistry in relation to physiology, health and disease;
the impact of complementary and integrative nutrition on drugs, disease, health and wellness; and
the principles of cultural competence within a professional’s own practice and when directing services.

You’ll form a deep understanding of the factors that shape and impact population health through courses that explore topics such as cultural and community nutrition, issues in public health, and the political and economic aspects of health, as well as biostatistics and epidemiology. Graduates will be prepared for positions working in community organizations, hospitals and international nutrition programs, as well as local, state and federal government health departments.
