NFS Nutritional SciencesOn this page: Introduction | Programs | See also: Faculty Members | Course Descriptions | Course Winter Timetable | Prospective Student Guide to Academic Programs | More on Department IntroductionNutritional Sciences represents an exciting and challenging area of study of a truly interdisciplinary nature. Understanding of the impact of nutrition on health and its role in disease prevention is based upon a knowledge of the metabolic processes involved (nutrient requirements and utilization, food additive metabolism and safety), of the chemistry of foods (food composition, preservation, and production) and of social and behavioural factors (determinants of food selection). Thus, in this program, the physical, biological and social sciences are integrated in consideration of the national and international goals of achieving an appropriate supply and utilization of food. Most career opportunities in Nutritional Sciences require training beyond the undergraduate level. The Specialist Program provides excellent preparation for entry into a professional faculty such as Medicine and Dentistry, or for postgraduate studies in nutriion research or community nutrition. Please note that this Department does not offer an undergraduate dietetics program. Students interested in applying for a dietetic internship after graduation should contact the Dietitians of Canada for information. Undergraduate Secretary: Professor S.
