Return to: School of Health and Rehabilitation Science Relocation Options
Students typically spend two years at Pitt-Greensburg and apply directly to the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences during the final semester at Greensburg. Recommended courses are listed below. To satisfy the requirement for a nutrition course, students may cross register for an equivalent course at Westmoreland County Community College or Seton Hill University. In addition, Greensburg students are often permitted to take Introduction to Nutrition after they relocate to the Pittsburgh campus.

All applicants must:
- Submit a personal essay-a brief statement discussing why you are interested in nutrition science, your professional goals including how and when you became interested in nutrition science, as well as any work or volunteer experience you have that will demonstrate your awareness of the field. Also include other areas of interest, extra-curricular activities and leadership experiences.
- Resumes are strongly recommended.
