Nutrition

The goal of the Nutrition Major is to provide students with a specialized academic program in nutritional science and the related physical, health and social sciences. It incorporates experiential learning into coursework to enable students to develop skills in nutritional science.

The Nutrition major prepares students for careers in general health sciences, dietetics, health promotion, education, private practice, government and health protection agencies, research and nutrition development. Appropriate selection of Free Electives (*6 Physics) will provide the required courses for application to Medicine.

The Nutrition major, with appropriate Approved Program Electives, is accredited by the College of Dietitians of Alberta. Students registered in this major can meet the academic competencies to be eligible for the Integrated Dietetic Internship.

 

Optional Minors Available

** Note: Students who elect to complete a minor and participate in the Integrated Dietetic Internship will not be able to meet all course requirements in four years.
