The NASN Announces its 1st Honorary Master Sports Nutrition Licenses

Since the founding of the National Association of Sports Nutrition in 1996, the NASN Licensed Master Sports Nutritionist has been the premier sought after credential because of its prestidge and its prerequisites.  There was one problem, though.  Certain outstanding Sports Nutritionists could not go through the course or get licensed because they lacked the formal education requirements.  For 18 years the title NASN Master Sports Nutritionist has been limited to only those who have completed a college degree. Well, even the most devout of us knows every rule has an exception.  Just as universities award honorary degrees, as of today, the NASN will award those select few, the chance of having an Honorary Master License.
