Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition
People are more health-conscious than ever, with the core of healthy living philosophies centering on what foods we eat and how they function to promote health. The B.Sc. in Food and Nutrition provides interdisciplinary training in both food science and nutrition.
You will learn how agricultural commodities are transformed into safe, nutritious and sustainable food sources. You will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to address the emergent needs in the food, health and wellness sectors, including:
how foods nourish the body (including metabolism)
the interrelationship between food and culture
how food is processed and how this impacts nutritional content
management of food preparation and service delivery in institutional environments
You will learn about environmentally-sustainable practices, technologies and ingredients used in food production, and the impact of nutrition and lifestyle choices on human health and aging.
