Ready to find out what MSU Denver can do for you? We’ve got you covered.
The Prerequisites for a Nutrition Graduate Program (PNUT) is an undergraduate program that allows you to complete prerequisites for the Master of Science in Nutrition (MSN) or the Graduate Certificate in Nutrition Science.
Full program acceptance requires prerequisite coursework with a grade of C- or higher in:
*CHE 1100 Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): MTH 1109 or MTH 1110 or MTH 1111 or MTH 1112 or a College Level Math (CLM) score of greater than or equal to 65 on the Accuplacer Exam or an Advanced Algebra and Functions (AAF) score of greater than or equal to 280 on the Accuplacer Exam
**BIO 2310 Prerequisite: BIO 1080 and BIO 1090 or Permission of instructor
Recency requirements for prerequisites: The upper division human nutrition metabolism and medical nutrition therapy courses must have been completed within the last 5 years. The medical nutrition therapy recency requirement may be waived if the applicant has recent clinical work experience.
Students must have all prerequisites completed prior to their entry term in the MSN or Graduate Certificate program.
If you have multiple prerequisites to complete, please contact the Nutrition Department to speak with an advisor about the timeline for completing the necessary prerequisites and the best admission semester based on your specific course needs. You can contact the Department of Nutrition at 303-615-0990.
If you are planning to take undergraduate courses as prerequisites for our graduate program you will select the undergraduate (bachelor’s level) application type.
Once the application has been started, you will select ‘Prerequisites for a Graduate Program’ and then ‘Prerequisites for the Master of Science in Nutrition’. This option is listed under the type of program you are interested in.
Please note, we are not able to accept international students into the Master of Science in Nutrition or the Graduate Certificate in Nutrition Science.
The Summer 2024 PNUT application is now open and the deadline to apply is April 1st. If you have any questions about fall courses, please reach out to Sophia Matuszewicz.
The MSN application is currently open for Fall 2024. The priority application deadline for the MSN program is April 1st.
As this program is at the undergraduate level, students can be eligible for financial aid assistance. A completed FAFSA application must be submitted. Undergraduate students must remain enrolled in a minimum of 6 undergraduate credit hours to be eligible for financial aid.
More information on financial aid information can be found on the MSU Denver Financial Aid website.
