Tufts University - Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy

The Friedman School of Nutrition at Tufts University was first established in 1978 with the goal of bringing together biomedical, social, political, and behavioral scientists to conduct trusted research, educate future leaders, and improve the nutritional health and well-being of populations around the globe. 

Since our founding over 40 years ago, the Friedman School has expanded our reach and continues to evolve to meet the demands of working across the globe on deeply complex issues in food and nutrition.  We take the full view of food and nutrition and welcome all students, collaborators, friends, and neighbors to join us as we work to support the nutritional wellbeing of the world.

Our 14 degree specializations, 4 research themes, and multiple nutrition-related centers and institutes address every area of our nutrition landscape to create an ecosystem of equitable and interdisciplinary education, research, and impact.
