Online Master of Science in Nutrition and Wellness

Benedictine University offers an online Master of Science in Nutrition and Wellness (MSNW) to deepen the knowledge and advance the careers of health and nutrition professionals. With a sophisticated curriculum steeped in nutritional science, the online master's degree in nutrition and wellness program prepares graduates to promote health and reduce the risk of illness and injury through community-based education programming and therapeutic intervention for individuals.

Mainstream media, particularly men's and women's magazines, promote a one-dimensional, fitness-based view of health. Benedictine University's online advanced degree program offers a multi-dimensional study of health that includes overall well-being, balanced nutrition, and complementary care and alternative therapies.

Upon completing the 64 quarter credit-hour curriculum, graduates are eligible for certification by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC) as a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). Participants in the program already working in the health and nutrition professions will find that their studies often apply immediately to their work.

Benedictine University's nutrition and wellness degree is the only one of its kind available online, nationwide. From understanding the effect of cultural and environmental factors on health to a research-based review of the prevalence of obesity in our society, Benedictine's MSNW provides a depth of education and application to real-world health education that is unparalleled.
