Hey everyone! I'm interested in studying nutrition, but I also have a deep appreciation for the military. I'm trying to find accredited online colleges that offers courses in nutrition and has ties with the military. Anybody have any recommendations or thoughts on this?
Hello! I can provide some recommendations for your quite specific field of interest. Having an interest in nutrition with a military focus is quite specialized, and it's good to see someone with keen focus.One such recommendation would be American Military University (AMU). AMU offers an online bachelor's program in sports and health sciences with a concentration in military resilience. While it doesn't focus purely on nutrition, it does have coursework related to nutrition, physical health, and psychology, all geared towards understanding the unique resilience of military personnel. Furthermore, AMU was created by a former Marine with the intent of meeting the specific needs of military personnel.
Then, there's the University of Alabama, which offers an online degree program focused on Food and Nutrition. Although it doesn't have a direct military tie-in within the program, the university itself boasts a strong ROTC program and a significant number of military-affiliated students. You could benefit from the military-friendly culture there, even in an online setting.
Lastly, Central Michigan University offers a Global Campus program, their online learning platform, with a Bachelor’s in Health Sciences. CMU has a long history of supporting military students, and their health sciences curriculum includes course options in nutrition.Before committing, I'd recommend reaching out to these universities to understand more about their curriculum and how it might be able to serve your combined interest in nutrition and the military. Making sure the curriculum lines up well with your long-term career goals is essential. Remember to look into resources and support for military personnel or those interested in military service too.Remember to check whether these programs satisfy the curriculum requirements for any professional certification or post-graduate work you might be considering. Online programs can vary greatly in terms of how well they meet professional standards, so it's always prudent to verify these aspects.
Hope this gives you a good starting point! Best of luck with your educational journey.
