The Graduate Group in Nutrition includes faculty from numerous departments and organized research units. This diversity means that we encourage students with backgrounds in various disciplines to apply to our program. The program is designed to provide fundamental knowledge of nutrition, and then allow specialization in one or more of a variety of sub-disciplines that meet your particular interests. Students at UC Davis work closely with their academic adviser and with their major professor to design a challenging and rewarding academic plan. Teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and financial aid in the form of grants, loans and work-study are also available to qualified graduate students.
Individual departments administer teaching assistant and training grant positions.
You should contact the professors in the individual departments to apply for teaching or research assistantships. When questions arise that are not covered by our brochures or publications from Graduate Studies, please feel free to contact us. I hope you will give Davis serious consideration as you apply to graduate school.
