How do I decide between the BScAHN Dietetics and the BScAHN Nutrition programs?
The dietetics program is for those students who want to become a registered professional dietitians (P.Dt. or RD), legally registered to practice in their province of choice. The BScAHN Dietetics program meets the guidelines of Dietitians of Canada so that graduates can apply for a dietetic internship and become registered. The nutrition program is best suited to those students who want to combine their nutrition studies with more business or more science so they can find jobs in industry or apply for graduate studies. You do not need to make this decision until your second or third year in the program, as the introductory courses are the same.
