Sports nutrition programs focus on getting the best results for athletes out of every meal. Classes include instruction on timing meals, choosing the right foods, and customizing plans to meet the specific goals of the athlete.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
