The Interdepartmental Nutrition Graduate Program (INP) is an interdisciplinary training program for students interested in the study of nutrition science. Faculty from several departments provide a wide range of expertise and training opportunities. Students interested in participating in INP apply to the Purdue West Lafayette (PWL) - Nutrition Science graduate program. Admitted students train under an INP faculty mentor to earn either a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree. Students learn a variety of approaches to address important nutrition issues. Students and faculty in this training group examine nutrition in the context of human populations and communities. These researchers integrate nutrition, epidemiology, social science, and prevention. This emphasis area includes nutrition interventions and educational programs, developing new approaches to measure and characterize nutrition exposures, and engage community partners to improve food behavior and health.
