Nutrition

The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at  Tufts University was established in 1981, bringing together biomedical, social, political, and behavioral scientists to conduct research, educational, and community service programs in nutrition.

The school offers master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees in nutrition and, in cooperation with the Frances Stern Nutrition Center of the New England Medical Center Hospital, a combined master of science/dietetic internship program. Dual-degree programs are offered with the School of Medicine (M.S./Master of Public Health) and with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (M.S./M.A.L.D.). A one-year combined master of arts degree in humanitarian studies is offered in conjunction with the Fletcher School. A tri-university certificate program in humanitarian studies is offered in conjunction with Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although no undergraduate degree program is offered, many of the courses are available to undergraduates with consent from the instructor. The faculty includes anthropologists, biomedical scientists, economists, nutritionists, physicians, political scientists, and psychologists, all dedicated to teaching and research in the field of nutrition.
