History


The Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Public Health was founded in 1955. The earlier function of the department was to teach nutrition courses to the students of the Faculty of Public Health. The nutritional problems of the country led to a need for nutrition experts to be in the team of health professionals, especially in the government sector. The undergraduate program for the Bachelor of Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) degree was established. Since 1977 and 1982, respectively graduate programs for the degree of Master of Science (Public Health) majoring in Nutrition and Doctor of Public Health majoring in Public Health Nutrition have been offered. Since 1995, the Bachelor of Science (Public Health) majoring in Food and Nutrition has been offered. In 1998, a one-year Master of Public Health (Nutrition Promotion) program was offered. There are now 1,287 alumni of the Department of Nutrition.
