Master of Science in Human Nutrition (NUTR)

This program is designed for Registered Dietitians (RD), or other health professionals, and those with a strong interest in nutrition. It offers an advanced degree with a focus on nutrition for health promotion and chronic disease risk. It, like other programs at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), is fully accredited through the NCA Higher Learning Commission and we deliver this program both on-campus and online.

EMU-Online's Master of Science in Human Nutrition provides an in-depth study of nutrition based on sound and current scientific evidence. Out-of-state students can take EMU-Online courses at Michigan in-state tuition rates.

This degree can enhance your current degree and provide opportunities in health care, business, education and the field of human performance.  If you are a Registered Dietitian, this degree will allow you to obtain Continuing Professional Education toward maintaining your credential.  If you are not a Registered Dietitian and you plan to counsel individuals or groups regarding dietary intake, the M.S. in Human Nutrition is not presently recommended due to current flux in Michigan state laws on licensure/registration.

AOCS AWARD of MERIT

The American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) is proud to announce that George U. Liepa, Professor, Eastern Michigan University, USA received the 2009 AOCS Award of Merit. The award was presented to Professor Liepa on 5 May 2009 at the 100th AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA.
The Award of Merit is presented annually for productive service to the AOCS. Leadership in technical, administrative, or special committees and activities; outstanding service that has advanced the Society’s prestige, standing, or interests; and services not otherwise specifically recognized are considered.

George Liepa has been an active AOCS Member since 1980. He established his leadership in AOCS early, with his contributions as Chairman of the Protein and Co-Products Section, and later in the development of the same Division. He has served on the AOCS Governing Board as Division Council Representative (2000–2006), Board Secretary (1998), and Board Member-at-Large (1992–1993). His contributions to AOCS are not limited to elected office. He has served as an Associate Editor for the JAOCS, as a Publications Reviewer for Lipids, and as a book reviewer.

Liepa’s fondness for AOCS led to a determination to do his best for the Society. Not only was his very active role in AOCS meritorious, but he did whatever he could do to advance the society’s prestige and broaden the membership base by developing “hot topic” sessions and attracting extremely high–quality speakers. All of his efforts were made with unbridled enthusiasm and a positive attitude. His direct involvement in Sections, Divisions, publications, and Governing Board positions is responsible for the current excellent financial health and position of the Society. George Liepa is being recognized for the duration of his active participation, the depth of his commitment to AOCS programs, and his ability to work with staff, membership groups, and other Governing Board Members. George Liepa is an AOCS Fellow.
