Campus: NYC, Westchester
In this program, students complete the BA in Biology as well as the MS in Nutrition and Dietetics (MSND) in 5 years. The goal is to provide students with knowledge and skills required for the workforce in nutrition and dietetics, while also providing them with a broad background in the life sciences via the undergraduate degree portion of the joint program. While most of the courses for the BA are offered on both the NYC and the PLV campuses, the MSND courses are only offered in PLV.
