Bachelor of Science - Applied Human Nutrition - Dietetics

For students who enroll in one of the Bachelor of Science programs in Applied Human Nutrition, they'll be working with world-class faculty to understand the principles and research developments in this innovative and highly relevant field. For students who plan to become a dietitian, a researcher, or a nutritionist, for those who want to work in product development, food security or community nutrition, or the health care field, and for those who plan to build their career in Canada or abroad, the Mount's programs will give them the skills and the knowledge that they need to excel.

Studying dietetics will help students to understand how to apply the principles of food, nutrition and health to promoting the nutritional well-being of the public. Students who earn their Dietetics degree, they can build a rewarding career in community nutrition, in the food industry, in fitness and sports nutrition, or they can go on to become a researcher or pursue graduate studies in the field. In the final year of study in this program, students can apply for a dietetic internship to become a registered dietitian. Or, as a graduate of the BSc AHN Dietetics program, can apply to a graduate program with a combined internship, such as the Master of Science in Applied Human Nutrition (internship option).
