Admission as a graduate degree student in human nutrition requires the applicant to show adequate undergraduate preparation for graduate work in the chosen program and to have an overall undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

   In addition, a satisfactory score on the verbal and quantitative sections of the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (preferred), or on the Miller Analogies Test is required. The Common Examination of the PRAXIS Examination may be accepted if the prospective student has taken the exam already and scored in an acceptable range. Admission is competitive.   Each graduate applicant must also complete an entrance conference with at least two graduate faculty members.  All credentials along with the Application for Graduate Admission must be submitted to The Graduate School office at Winthrop University.
