Nutrition and Dietetics is an Honours Specialization professional program within the Bachelor of Science Foods and Nutrition (BScFN) degree at Western University, requiring 11.5 courses beyond first year. The curriculum covers food-science and nutrition courses, including Foods and Nutrition 2230A/B, 2266F/G, 2449A/B, 3342A/B, 3344A/B, 3348A/B, 3351A/B, 3355A/B, 3361F/G, 4429A/B, 4453A/B, 4460A/B and 4471A/B, alongside a research or professional-practice course choice, a Human Ecology course, and chemistry and biochemistry prerequisites. The program is accredited by Accreditation Canada and recognized by the Alliance of Canadian Dietetic Regulatory Bodies, though completing the module does not itself guarantee admission to a post-graduation dietetic practicum. Admission from first year requires a minimum average across designated chemistry, biology, physiology and foods-and-nutrition prerequisite courses.
