Nutrition and Health Certificate

The Nutrition & Health certificate is a specialty certificate designed as an interdisciplinary certification that covers a broad array of human nutrition concepts, issues, and practices. The certificate allows for either a focus within a specific human nutrition discipline or a general overview of human nutrition in various societal settings. The certificate is open to current students in any major as well as non-MSU students who want to obtain a certificate in a specialty area that will help them in their current job or volunteer service.
