The Milken Institute School of Public Health offers a dual bachelor of science with a major in nutrition and master of public health in the field of public health nutrition program. The program allows students to take up to 12 graduate credits as part of their undergraduate degree, thereby decreasing the number of credits normally required for the master's degree.

Credit sharing: 12 credits
For each MPH course taken in the dual degree program, the corresponding undergraduate course cannot be used to waive a BS in nutrition program requirement. For example, if a student takes EXNS 6242 as a shared course, they cannot take EXNS 2124 and count it towards the BS requirements.

EXNS 6242Nutrition Throughout the Life Cycle
