Master’s Degree in Nutrition Testimonials

Alexandra Trezza

Deciding to go back to school while working full-time as an English teacher was scary, but every single professor I’ve had in the Nutrition program has been incredible and skillful in presenting the material in a way that’s really fascinating. My nervousness about going back to school turned into excitement and a passion for learning more and knowing more. I can’t believe how much I’ve grown since my first weeks of classes. I had the opportunity to have a paper I worked on published in a peer-reviewed journal. UB allowed me to experience the research side of nutrition, and I’m grateful for that experience.

When looking into online programs, I was worried I would have a hard time shifting from my field of graphic design to a science-focused program like nutrition. UB answered all of my questions and addressed any of my concerns about changing fields. UB’s Nutrition program stood out to me because it had such a heavy emphasis on biochemistry and bio-individuality. Studying at UB has been a truly wonderful experience and will set us apart as we enter the field.

The Human Nutrition program at University of Bridgeport is one of the most clinically-sound programs available. I had excellent classmates and professors during my time at UB, and I have maintained many of the relationships I made while enrolled in the Nutrition program. Since graduating with my master’s degree in Human Nutrition, I’ve started a podcast. The podcast allows me to reach thousands of people with the nutritional wisdom I learned at UB. We have listeners in 55 different countries! I’ve had the opportunity to interview experts in clinical nutrition, and my business partner and I are working on producing a documentary next!

My experience at UB in the Nutrition program was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. Before starting the master’s in Human Nutrition program, I worked as an herbalist and small business owner. During the program, I received a grant to investigate and research one of my herbal formulas. I received a second grant to work with the faculty at the Bauer Hall Innovation Center to expand my small business. UB helped me use these two grants to advance my business, including introducing online sales. I want to thank the professors at UB, I learned so much from them, and they gave me invaluable opportunities to grow.
