Program Details
Make Your Mark in Research
Under the guidance of widely published faculty mentors, you can be part of research at every stage—collect and analyze data, publish as an author or co-author on scholarly articles, and present your findings at conferences. Join interdisciplinary, collaborative practice and research projects in multiple laboratories, centers, and institutions at Syracuse University.
Hone Your Skills in On-Campus Labs
Learn using medical-grade equipment and technology that mirrors—or exceeds—what is found in medical facilities, professional sports, the military, and health and wellness settings. Our Nutrition Assessment, Consultation and Education (ACE) Center is a hands-on learning laboratory to prepare students with traditional and emerging professional competencies critical to effective nutrition practice.
Discover Nutrition Around the World
Syracuse University Abroad consistently ranks among the highest-quality international study programs in the country. Syracuse offers short- and long-term options in more than 60 countries, including internships, community engagement projects, and language study at all levels.
