Proven, Versatile Curriculum - The Northeast Difference and Results
While curriculum can vary depending on the university you choose to attend, at Northeast our curriculum reflects our focus on creating a well-rounded nutritionist.

Courses like "Macro- and Micronutrients" and "Nutritional Assessment" will lay the foundation for your future as a clinical nutritionist. More specialized courses like "Clinical Sports Nutrition" and "Therapeutic Nutrition" help create that versatile knowledge of the field. As an MSACN student, you will work closely with outstanding professors and peers to view nutrition through an integrative, holistic lens and make a substantive difference in others' lives.
Program Success Stories
At Northeast , we love keeping in touch with our alumni and hearing how their education gave them the path to pursue their interests. Ana Maria Moise is a great example; she is an MSACN
graduate from 2012. Moise is currently practicing at The Nutrition Center in Massachusetts, a non-profit that offers individual counseling and works with local schools. Through helping patients with severe gastrointestinal distress, Moise has found herself a gratifying career.
Curtis Bell has been the director of sports performance for the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins since 2012. Bell returned to school in 2017 for his Master of Science in Applied Clinical Nutrition, and chose Northeast because its flexible program allowed him to continue working full time. He appreciated how Northeast 's MSACN graduate program used real science to apply practical nutrition in a real-world setting. Bell now brings his knowledge to his athletes, sharing how nutrition can help them achieve their goals on and off the ice.
