The Specialization in Foods and Nutrition prepares students for possible employment in foods and nutrition related areas such as food production and distribution industries, institutional and community health services, hospitality and pharmaceutical industries, education and volunteer agencies.
Graduates also may pursue advanced study in areas such as Community Development, Education, Child Care and Development, and Food Service Management.
Students are encouraged to seek academic counselling early in the program, especially if they intend to combine the Specialization with a Major or Minor in a complementary field.
