Nutrition science is always evolving, and so are we. That’s why we have just recently launched our updated Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate, which incorporates the latest research, emerging topics, and several new experts.

The certificate is powered by eCornell and includes six weeks of online, video-based, instructor-led courses. The course content is based on 400+ peer-reviewed studies, which we’ve broken down into three courses and fifteen modules. To help you navigate the science, we’ve brought together more than 25 nutrition, policy, and public health experts. We are so excited to add the following nine subject matter experts to the certificate:
