Populations of the MENA region face both emergencies and societal transitions that carry multiple nutrition-related health risks and put many communities at risk. The complex nature of malnutrition, and its determinants at the population level, require a multidisciplinary approach that combines the discipline of public health and the science of nutrition to develop effective programs and policies in nutrition.
The MS in Public Health Nutrition is the first graduate-level program of its kind in Lebanon and the MENA region. It is offered jointly by the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and the Faculty of Health Sciences and builds on the strong expertise of each of these schools in the fields of nutrition science and public health, respectively.
