Overview

Students will master key competencies in specializations in nutrition, foods or the food industry. All students receive a solid theoretical foundation in both food and nutritional sciences. Topics of study include energy and exercise, nutrients and nutritional supplements, food labels and health claims, diet and disease prevention, nutrient metabolism and disease states, nutrient requirements and diet evaluation, nutrition education and dietary change, and food quality and ingredient technology.

We offer a bachelor degree in Human Nutritional Sciences program at the University of Manitoba. The nutrition option focuses on the role of nutrition in health promotion and disease prevention for individuals, families and communities across the life span. Students taking this option have the opportunity to complete pre-professional requirements to apply for dietetic internships, medicine, law, and dentistry.

Students completing courses for dietetic preparation can meet the educational requirements to qualify for a dietetic internship and membership with the College of Dietitians of Manitoba (CDM) or dietetic colleges in other Canadian provinces. The option also provides comprehensive training for graduates working as professionals in a wide range of settings including personal care homes, hospitals, social and public health agencies, food industry, food processing and marketing facilities.
