Combined Masters in Public Health / Dietetic Internship Program

The Dietetic Internship (DI) is housed in the Urban Public Health (UPH) program, which grants a Masters in Pubic Health (MPH) degree in Community Health Education with a specialization in Nutrition. The curriculum includes strategies of preventive medicine; models of health care delivery, and health policy designed to prepare graduates for careers in public health nutrition at local, national and international levels. Students who have applied to or been accepted into the Dietetic Internship Program may also apply to the MPH program prior to beginning the DI program in September or during the internship program.

Twelve graduate credits are granted for successful completion of the DI at Hunter College. Students who have applied and been accepted to the MPH program prior to or during the internship may have these credits applied toward the MPH degree in the Urban Public Health program. The remaining 12 graduate courses (36 credits) required to complete the MPH degree may be completed during or following the DI.
