The Doctor of Philosophy DegreeThe PhD in Human Sciences with option in human development andfamily science (HDFS) is a research doctoral program designed topromote breadth, depth and integration of knowledge in HDFS throughresearch collaborations. Doctoral students collaborate with facultyand other graduate students on research projects which integrate thetheoretical and empirical knowledge base in HDFS and investigatekey processes associated with risk and resilience. Upon graduation,doctoral students have the knowledge and experience to develop intoleading scholars able to conduct high quality basic and applied research,to provide relevant instruction, develop effective interventions andcontribute to the development of informed public policy that reduces riskand enhances resilience within individuals and among families acrosscultures and generations.

The PhD option in HDFS provides students with the opportunity toconcentrate on one of the following disciplines: Human Developmentor Family Science. Students are admitted to the program to focus ina primary discipline in the department (human development or familyscience) and to take additional course work in a secondary discipline(human development is the secondary discipline for family sciencestudents and family science is the secondary discipline for students inhuman development).

PhD graduates are prepared to apply knowledge in human developmentand family science in a collaborative manner in diverse settings. Toaccomplish this goal, the program is designed around four primarythemes: breadth (knowledge of substantive content across the twodisciplines of human development and family science), depth (knowledgeof substantive content within one discipline, either human developmentor family science), integration (knowledge synthesized to capitalizeon the strengths of the disciplines of human development and familyscience) and experience (knowledge through involvement in research,instruction and a variety of applications associated with reducing riskand enhancing resilience of individuals and families).

To achieve breadth, depth and experience in the primary emphasis areaand in the integration between human development and family science,students take courses and participate in individualized experiences,approved by their major adviser and doctoral advisory committee,that guide the student in mastering the forms (teaching, research andservice) and functions (discovery of knowledge, integration of knowledge,application of knowledge and transmission of knowledge) of scholarshipexpected of doctoral graduates in HDFS.

Two options are available: 90-hour program for BS graduates and 60-hour program for MS graduates (with additional coursework possiblefor students with BS and MS degrees in other fields). Doctoral trainingincludes participation in research throughout the doctoral program,a qualifying examination in statistics, and completion of portfoliodocuments designed to integrate knowledge from coursework andexperiences and demonstrate attainment of doctoral competencies.Coursework includes a minimum of 15 semester hours in humandevelopment and family science content classes, 15 hours in human

1668 Human Development and Family Science

development and family science methods classes and research practica,12 semester hours in research and statistics classes, three semesterhours in human sciences and 15 hours of dissertation research. Studentswho did not complete a thesis for the master's degree are required tocomplete a thesis equivalent project (beyond the 60 semester hourrequirement).

Admission to the PhD program is selective and requires the completion ofan MS in human development, family science or related field. Admissiondecisions are based on a variety of criteria including grade-point average(3.0 grade-point average in undergraduate work and 3.5 in previousgraduate study preferred; 3.25 in previous graduate study required),GRE scores (minimum scores of 150 for the verbal section, 147 forthe quantitative section, and 4.0 for the analytical writing section arepreferred for admission), TOEFL scores (required for students for whomEnglish is a second language, minimum score of 79 on the internet-basedTOEFL), three letters of recommendation, a statement of student goalsand a résumé.

Nutritional SciencesThe Department of Nutritional Sciences advances health and quality oflife of individuals and communities and prepares professionals throughdiscovery, education and application of scientific knowledge.

Graduates are prepared to apply nutrition knowledge in dieteticinternships, healthcare professional schools, graduate programs andfood and nutrition-related professions. Four degree options and a minorare offered through the department.

The human nutrition/premedical sciences option is ideal for studentsdesiring greater depth in the physiological and biochemical sciencesin preparation for medical and other professional schools, graduatestudy and research in human nutrition. It includes the prerequisitesfor admission to most medical, dental, optometry and pharmacyschools. The allied health option provides required coursework for mostnursing schools, physician assistant programs, schools of physical andoccupational therapy, dental hygiene and other health professions. Thecommunity nutrition option offers coursework for positions in nutritioneducation, wellness, school food service management and other areasas well as the prerequisites for the MS in Athletic Training. The dieteticsoption provides the coursework required to become a Registered Dietitian(see OSU Didactic Program in Dietetics below).

The mission of the OSU Didactic Program in Dietetics is to promotehuman health and quality of life by preparing students for future rolesin dietetics and dietetics-related professions. The dietetics professionis diverse and dynamic, integrating human nutrition, food serviceadministration, food science, chemistry, physiology, managementand interpersonal skills. The dietetics option is the only option thatincludes the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) coursework requiredto apply for competitive dietetic internships (DI). When studentssuccessfully complete the academic requirements (DPD) and supervisedpractice component (DI), they are eligible for the national RegistrationExamination for Dietitians administered by the Commission on DieteticRegistration (CDR) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (theAcademy). Individuals who successfully complete the examinationbecome Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists and are entitled to usethe initials “RD” or “RDN” to signify professional competence. Manystates, including Oklahoma, also require a license to practice dieteticsin the state. Each state law varies in its scope. Didactic Programin Dietetics information and the DPD Student Handbook are foundat humansciences.okstate.edu/dpd (https://humansciences.okstate.edu/nsci/undergraduate-students/dietetics-program-osu.html).

The Didactic Program in Dietetics is currently granted continuingaccreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition andDietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 SouthRiverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, Illinois 60606-6995, 312.899.0040ext. 5400.

Nutrition professionals work in a wide range of settings, in both the publicand private sectors and assume an array of challenging responsibilities.Career opportunities for a registered/licensed dietitian include: health care dietitian and administrator, nutrition researcher, fitness/wellness consultant, public health nutritionist, school nutrition director,Cooperative Extension educator, entrepreneur in dietetic programs andservices, and corporate dietitian/nutritionist. DPD Graduates who do notenter dietetic internships may work in related fields which do not requirethe RD credential such as school food service, Cooperative Extension,pharmaceutical or food sales, food service management and governmentprograms; take the certified dietary manager (CDM) exam; or enter

related graduate programs such as Master of Science in Public Health.Upon earning the DPD “verification statement,” students may take theCDR exam to become dietetic technicians, registered (DTR). Universityteaching and research in the field of nutrition and some specializedcareers require advanced degrees or additional course work.

Admission RequirementsTransfer students must have earned a 2.5 retention GPA in order to beadmitted to the NSCI undergraduate program.

Dietetic InternshipThe dietetic internship (DI) at Oklahoma State University requires abachelor’s degree and prior completion of the DPD requirements foradmission and meets the Academy’s 1200-hour supervised practicerequirement for registration eligibility. Its mission is to advance healthand quality of life of individuals and communities by preparing dieteticprofessionals for competent practice through education, discovery andapplication of scientific knowledge. The internship provides experiencein clinical, management, and community practice settings where internsdevelop entry-level practice competence. Entry into the dietetic internshipis competitive, requiring an application to the OSU DI and NSCI Master’sDegree and participation in the Academy of Nutrition and Dieteticscomputer matching or pre-selection process. All students admitted tothe Dietetic Internship must earn the departmental Master of Science innutritional sciences (nutrition option) or enter with at least an MS whichis essentially equivalent to the NSCI MS (nutrition option).

The Dietetic Internship at OSU is currently granted continuingaccreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition andDietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 SouthRiverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, Illinois 60606-6995, 312.899.0040ext. 5400.

Graduate ProgramsThe Department of Nutritional Sciences offers graduate study leadingto a Master of Science degree in nutritional sciences and a Doctorof Philosophy degree in nutritional sciences. Graduate study in NSCIemphasizes the conduct and application of research to the field ofhuman nutrition. Graduate students work with an adviser and advisorycommittee to develop flexible, yet rigorous programs of study andresearch that meet the degree requirements and each student'sprofessional goals within an area of specialization in the field.

1682 Nutritional Sciences

The Master of Science DegreeThe MS degree program is designed to develop research skills, stimulateindependent thought and critical thinking, and provide up-to-dateknowledge in a variety of areas of human nutrition. Admission to theMS graduate program is selective and is based on a variety of factorsincluding the student's grade-point average (overall and science GPA),Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, letters of recommendationand goal statement. The prerequisite for the MS program is a BS innutritional sciences. Students with a BS degree in a subject area otherthan nutrition are required to have a minimum of 30 credit hours ofundergraduate/graduate coursework related to nutritional sciences,including at least one course in biochemistry, one course in physiologyand one upper-level nutrition course prior to full admission. Applicantswho do not meet these requirements may be considered for conditionalacceptance and required to take prerequisite courses and/or demonstrateacademic ability.

Students in the MS program-nutrition option can choose one of twotracks: thesis or non-thesis. The MS degree with thesis requires aminimum of 30 credit hours, including six credit hours for thesis research(NSCI 5000 Master's Thesis). Thesis research is conducted within theadviser’s area of interest and is approved by an advisory committee.The non-thesis MS degree requires a minimum of 34 credit hours withthree credit hours of NSCI 5843 Non-thesis Graduate Capstone, includinga comprehensive examination, a written research paper, and an oralpresentation. The student's plan of study and research is determined inconsultation with his/her adviser and advisory committee.

An online Master of Science degree in nutritional sciences with an optionin dietetics is also offered to Registered Dietitians (RD) or individualswho are RD eligible. OSU offers this degree program as a member of theGreat Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (Great Plains IDEA)which provides the opportunity for Registered Dietitians to study withfaculty from eight universities in the Alliance via Internet-based courses.The MS in Dietetics requires completion of 36 credit hours, including ninecore credits, six OSU Nutritional Sciences Core credits, 18 elective creditsand NSCI 5843 Non-thesis Graduate Capstone. A faculty adviser andthe graduate committee from the Nutritional Sciences department mustapprove a student’s program of study. More detailed information can befound at: gpidea.okstate.edu (http://gpidea.okstate.edu).

The Doctor of Philosophy DegreeThe PhD degree is awarded in nutritional sciences. Two programs areavailable: a 60-hour program for MS graduates and a 90-hour programfor BS graduates. The focus of the program is to prepare individualsfor careers in a variety of areas including higher education, industry,healthcare and governmental programs. Admission to the programis competitive and applicants are expected to provide evidence ofexceptional academic ability and preparation, a statement of goalsand letters of recommendation. Grade-point average in previousundergraduate, professional school and graduate coursework andGraduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are considered in theevaluation of the applicant. If a thesis was not required as a componentof the applicant's MS program, a thesis or equivalent must be completedin addition to the requirements for the doctoral degree. Prerequisitecoursework for full admittance to the PhD program includes at leastone graduate or undergraduate course in biochemistry and physiology,six credit hours at the graduate level in nutrition and three credit hoursof statistics. Students with MS degrees in a subject area other thannutrition will also be required to have a minimum of 30 credit hours ofundergraduate/graduate coursework related to nutritional sciences,

including the prerequisite courses listed above. Applicants who do notmeet these requirements may be considered for conditional acceptanceand required to take additional prerequisite courses.

The PhD program includes a strong emphasis on research in areasranging from basic molecular and cellular sciences to clinical andcommunity applications. Students also gain experience in resourcegeneration, knowledge sharing and community engagement. Eachprogram of study is designed by the student under direction of his/her faculty adviser and advisory committee to develop the student’scompetence in an area of specialization and research methodologies.Doctoral training includes 15-30 hours of dissertation research,a qualifying examination covering core nutrition knowledge, acomprehensive examination focused on the area of specialization andparticipation in research throughout the program.
