Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy

The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy (also called the Friedman School) at Tufts University brings together biomedical, clinical, social, and behavioral scientists to conduct research, educational, and community service programs in the field of human nutrition. Founded in 1981, the school's mission is to improve the nutritional well-being of people worldwide through research and teaching. The Friedman School is one of the eight schools that currently comprise Tufts University. It is the only graduate school of nutrition science in the United States. Although originally split between the university's Medford/Somerville campus and the health sciences campus in Boston, almost all of the school's facilities and programs now share the health sciences campus with the School of Medicine and the School of Dental Medicine. The Jaharis Family Center for Biomedical and Nutrition Research, which opened in 2002, houses most of the Nutrition School. In academic year 2004/2005, the school enrolled 213 masters and doctoral students.
