Bachelor of Science - B.Sc. (Nutrition)
Nutrition is the study of nutrients—carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals—that are essential for life. You will learn how nutrients are ingested, digested, absorbed, metabolized, stored and excreted.
You will study food availability and how the nutrition choices we make can affect our health. You will become an expert in food and nutrition so that you are prepared to help individuals, groups, families, organizations and populations achieve their food and nutrition-related goals through assessment, counselling, management, programming and advocacy.
