What You Will Learn?
The curriculum combines traditional academic course work with practical training, so that students acquire an in-depth knowledge in general nutrition, nutritional biochemistry and physiology, biostatistics, and epidemiology. They develop an understanding of how to design and conduct epidemiologic research studies, and gain hands-on experience in essential techniques in data analysis and presentation. Students take most of their academic courses at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and at the School of Medicine. Additional courses in advanced epidemiology are available by cross-registration at Boston University.
