M.S. Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine

With appreciation of the rapid advancements in the field of clinical nutrition and the increasingly respected role of nutrition in the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease, the master of science in human nutrition and functional medicine program prepares graduates to safely and effectively utilize nutrition, natural remedies and biopsychosocial therapies in the management of patients with complex health challenges at an advanced level beyond traditional nutritional programs.

Graduates of the MS-HNFM program will be able to:

  1. Integrate whole food nutrition with strategies for health promotion and disease prevention.
  2. Apply the functional medicine model to the therapeutic needs a patient or client could present.
  3. Apply appropriate interventions to address physiological imbalances and illness states.
  4. Appraise research evidence to answer clinically relevant questions.
The Master of Science in human nutrition and functional medicine focuses on the clinical management of chronic illnesses and conditions as the framework for presenting the nutrition subject materials. Students are provided effective, patient-centered management strategies by which to address the myriad of clinical disorders commonly manifest in the current health care system population. This approach allows training to occur in the same context the practitioner will be applying the knowledge.
