What Faculty Are Saying

"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to coordinate and instruct in the new online Master of Public Health in Nutrition program. Our participants include dietitians, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, health educators, and other health specialists, who join in from all over the U.S. and from Europe. Students are applying what they learn in the MPH in Nutrition in their careers, and appreciate the flexibility of the fully online format. We recently conducted a survey of the first-year students and 100% said they would recommend the program to others. What they enjoy the most is discussing and sharing ideas and professional experiences with their peers during online threaded discussions and live summer seminars."

Patsy Beffa-Negrini PhD RD, Amherst Master of Public Health in Nutrition
