The purpose of this degree program is to enable undergraduate students to complete the requirements for a BS and MS degree in less calendar time than would be required through normal sequential enrollment. This intensive program is targeted toward high-achieving undergraduate students who are seeking a quicker path to a graduate degree. Students interested in the accelerated MS program must apply to the Graduate School for admission and acceptance into the MS program. Admission into the accelerated master’s program will be decided by the Nutrition Department Graduate Admissions Committee. Students graduating from this program will earn both a BS and an MS degree. Students interested in this program should contact both the undergraduate and graduate advisors.

Students can apply to the accelerated master’s program in their senior year. The GRE is no longer required for the application. Application Deadline: February 1st.

The 4+1 MS program can be completed regardless of the track the student is in, including the dietetics, nutrition, and health sciences, or nutrition in a global society. 

To apply, students will need to have earned a GPA of at least 3.5 and have completed the following undergraduate courses:

• NUTR 230
• NUTR 391C/NUTR 372 (or concurrent with application)
• KIN 270
• KIN 272
• BIO 151
• CHEM 111
• CHEM 112
• CHEM 250 or 261

All other undergraduate requirements, including BIOCHEM 420, NUTR 352, and NUTR 430, must be completed before starting the MS program.

Applications must be received by Feb. 1 for entry in the Fall semester.

If you are on the 4+1 dietetics track, you should plan on applying for the dietetic internship during the fifth year.
