Studying Nutrition in Grad School

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>This is probably going to sound like a dumb question to some people, but I'm about to enter my junior year of college. I've always thought I wanted to major in English and have mainly taken English courses, along with a few requirements like Sociology and Astrology as my laboratory science. However, lately I have been thinking about going into the Nutrition field. I know you can study this in graduate school, but do you have to major in a pre-health curriculum in your undergrad years? Or can I apply to a graduate school for nutrition while having an undergrad degree in English? It would be easy for me to stay in the English field, whereas if I had to switch to a pre-health major I would probably have to load up on science classes and take summer courses. This is just a thought to entertain because I am still interested in the English field, but I am curious about Nutrition.</p>

<p>My school doesn't have a Nutrition major, by the way - the closest thing is probably either Health Science or Public Health.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>Find a couple of Nutrition Programs and see what the prerequiste classes are for those programs. Then take those classes, either at your current school, another school or even online. I would definitely take some classes in that area before applying to a graduate program in it, just to ensure that you like that subject.</p>

<p>Tufts University in the Boston area has a graduate degree for an MS in Nutrition. They also have a dual masters option thats the MPH/MS track. Its actually one of the schools I am looking at for grad school. My undergrad is in Biomedical and Health Sciences.</p>

<p>Here is a link to the program requirements.
