Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health 35 West Fourth Street, 10th Floor New York, NY 10003
The Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health is the legacy of an academic unit originally founded in the 1920s. Today, in recognition of the fundamental importance of food and nutrition to human life and pleasure; the growing demand for knowledgeable, skilled public health professionals, nutritionists, food managers, and food professionals, the department now trains students for a wide range of careers related to the role of food, nutrition, and health in modern society, culture, and business -- domestically and internationally. The Department's innovative mission is to educate students, professionals, and the public about the role of food, nutrition, and health in all aspects of life. Department programs apply and integrate this information through undergraduate, master's, or doctoral degree programs in four distinct but related areas of study: Nutrition and Dietetics, Food and Restaurant Management, Food Studies, and Public Health.

Quick Facts:
Although we do offer some culinary training classes which support the degree-oriented academic programs, we do not offer a degree in Culinary Arts. The undergraduate program in Nutrition and Food Studies leads to a bachelor of science degree in one of three areas of concentration: Nutrition and Dietetics, Food and Restaurant Management, or Food Studies. The mission of New York University's Dietetic Internship is to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed for practice as entry-level dietitians. The internship prepares graduates to integrate theory with practice and apply critical thinking and analytical skills in order to help improve the dietary intake, nutritional status, and overall health of individuals and groups. Each student's course load determines the time length of the program. Full-time students usually complete a master's degree in approximately 2 to 2 1/2 years. You are given 6 years in which to complete the degree. Part-time students usually take 4-6 years to complete the degree. The department administers a few scholarships and also nominates students for scholarships administered by outside agencies.
