UNF’s Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, ranking 9th nationally according to Gradsource.com, was the only program in the state to achieve national ranking.

The online degree program through the Brooks College of Health allows students to do independent research through field experience, projects, and study courses.

The ranking was based on several criteria, such as affordability, program prominence, student success, flexibility, and related degrees.

UNF was ranked right along prominent universities like Rutgers, Auburn, and the New York Institute of Technology.

Dr. Judith Rodriguez, chair of UNF’s Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, is proud of the recognition and says the program’s goal is to continue providing students with excellent education.

“We strive to have programs that are high quality, relevant, and focused on preparing students for evidence-based practice,” She said.
