The goal of the Master of Sciences in Sport Nutrition is to provide students the learning experiences that encompass the scientific and practical principles of nutrition for exercise and sport. Students acquire the knowledge and skill necessary for evidence-based applications and competencies of sports dietitians, working with athletes and active individuals in a variety of settings. Specifically, students in the sport nutrition graduate program will be prepared to:
- Work as a sports dietitian/sport nutritionist in the setting where exercise and sport science services are offered or requested (e.g., traditional settings: teams, clubs, community groups, fitness and wellness centers, research teams, individuals; nontraditional settings: military, fire fighters, police)
- Plan and program sport-specific nutrition services for individuals, teams, and groups
- Screen, assess, follow up, and monitor athletes and active individuals in a variety of settings, integrating both nutrition and sport science principles and skills
- Effectively integrate nutritional interventions into the annual training and competition plan of athletes at the elite and professional level
- Provide sport nutrition education to active youth in community settings (e.g., schools, after-school programs, clubs)
- Provide sport nutrition services and programs to University recreation centers, active students, faculty, staff, and student athletes
- Provide nutrition education and services to exercising individuals and active community groups with focus on health promotion, fitness, weight maintenance and loss, and disease prevention
- Counsel athletes and active individuals in a variety of settings
- Work as part of the multi-disciplinary team in a variety of sports and their clinical settings
- Effectively use scientific knowledge and evidence-based principles in evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting client/patient data
- Apply knowledge and skill consistent with the American Dietetic Association’s Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPPs) for Sports Dietitians
- Plan, conduct, analyze, and interpret research in the field of nutrition for exercise and sport
- Teach nutrition for exercise and sport using experiential learning opportunities (e.g., recovery workshops w/ food and food preparation; shopping at grocery stores, cooking classes to improve skill in the kitchen; gardening as effective weight loss strategy)
- Plan food service and catering for individuals, teams, and community groups at sporting events, fund-raisers, and camps
- Work with industry to establish socially and ethically responsible partnerships for individuals, teams, and groups
- Synthesize scientific data and translate into practically meaningful information through a variety of communication channels (e.g., electronic and written materials, website development and hosting, audio-visuals, writing for magazines)
