Accelerated Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics

Take a quicker path to the finish line

You know where you want to go in your career. Get there sooner.

Earn credit that you can apply to your master’s degree and bachelor’s degree (major) at the same time.

How it works

Are you already majoring in nutrition and dietetics? You have an inside track to a master's degree!

The accelerated master’s in nutrition and dietetics allows you to:

• Begin graduate studies during your junior year.
• Take 12 hours of 600-700 level courses that will count toward both your bachelor’s and master’s.
• Complete your master's degree just three semesters after earning your bachelor’s degree, which saves you an extra semester or two.

Save time, money and graduate earlier with two degrees.

This option is available only for Missouri State undergraduate students who major in nutrition and dietetics.
