The new masters degree (M.S.) in Exercise and Nutrition Science is available to students beginning Fall, 2009.  Applications are being accepted through the Lipscomb University Office of Graduate Studies.  This new program is designed to prepare students for careers in Clinical or Non-Clinical Exercise Science and Dietetics.  Students will have the option of pursuing either an Exercise Science or Dietetics emphasis.  Those interested in the program should have significant undergraduate course work in Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Exercise Science and Nutrition.  Graduates of the program will fill a unique void with training in both Exercise and Nutrition Science.  The program is 32-36 hours depending on whether students choose the thesis or non-thesis option.  Those interested in pursuing their R.D. will also have to be accepted into a yearlong Dietetics Internship Program following the completion of the degree course work.  Students will be academically prepared to take the ACSM clinical or non-clinical certification exams.
