Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I am looking into getting my master's in clinical nutrition online. I'm specifically looking at lind lin University and East Carolina University. Does anyone know anything about these programs or can recommend any other programs? I'd rather not do a thesis if I didn't have to. Thanks!
