The Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at Louisiana Tech University provides an in-depth study of nutrition and dietetics principles while developing students’ nutrition research skills.  This degree includes a thesis option, which requires 30-semester hours of credit, and a non-thesis option, which requires 39-semester credit hours.  Learners will complete a research project in either option.  Although most coursework is offered electronically, the program itself is not considered an online program.  Courses may require synchronous online class meetings and are designed to accommodate working professionals.
