Admission Requirements

Students must have completed professional certification in one of the following health professions: Physician (M.D./D.O.), Physician Assistant (PA), or Nurse (B.S.). Students who have completed one year of medical school (M.D. or D.O.) will be considered. An introductory nutrition course is preferred. Students who do not have a previous nutrition course must take CLNU 787 Independent Study (1-credit), which can be tailored to include a review of introductory nutrition. This one credit will count towards the required nine credits of elective courses in the 12-credit program.

• Completed application. 
• $50 nonrefundable application fee. 
• Copies of undergraduate transcripts for all schools attended. All final, official transcripts must be received prior to the start of your first semester.
• Copy of college diploma or proof of degree. 
• International student requirements: English proficiency and transcript evaluation.
  • As this is an online program, which may be completed in the home country, matriculation in this program does not qualify an international student for a U.S. F-1 visa.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling admission basis, as long as space is available.
