¿Qué aprenderé?

The Applied Human Nutrition major recognizes both the biological and the social facets of human nutrition. It focuses on nutrition from a preventive, maintenance and therapeutic perspective, all of which require a thorough understanding of the related biological sciences and of selected aspects of the behavioral sciences. Students learn about nutrition and its application to the maintenance of health and the prevention and treatment of disease. They also learn about individual and social behaviour, particularly in family settings, and the implications of behavioral factors in the establishment of good nutrition status from conception through to old age. Through the effective use of elective courses, the core requirements in the Major can be supplemented to create a program of study which will prepare graduates for a variety of health and education careers in the government or private sectors, or with the food industry. Others may proceed to graduate study in fields such as nutrition, public health nutrition, medicine or education.

An Area of Emphasis in Dietetics is also offered for those interested in becoming Registered Dietitians. Successful completion of the additional required and restricted elective courses will allow students to compete for a limited number of dietetic internship positions after graduation. Graduates who complete dietetic internships are eligible to write the Registration Examination and become Registered Dietitians, a regulated health profession. The Area of Emphasis in Dietetics is accredited by the Dietitians of Canada. Most graduates completing dietetic internships are employed in hospitals and other health care agencies such as community health centres and long-term care facilities where the credential of Registered Dietitian is required for practice. Some Registered Dietitians also find employment in a wide range of careers in health and education, and in the private sector. Still others proceed to graduate study in fields such as nutrition, public health nutrition, medicine or education.

Learn about the physical, social and psychological impact of the food we eat in Applied Human Nutrition. Explore healthy lifestyles; the effects of personal circumstances on eating habits; the effect of disease and how poor eating habits contribute to illness. Diverse courses shape the skills you need to work in a variety of settings to address nutrition issues. Add the Area of Emphasis in Dietetics to this major as a first step if you are interested in a career as a registered dietitian. This dietetic education program is an accredited program recognized by the Partnership for Dietetic Education and Practice (PDEP) and prepares students for eligibility for registration with a provincial dietetics regulatory body.
