What people eat has a tremendous impact on their lives and wellbeing.
Acadia University’s School of Nutrition and Dietetics is home to a vibrant research community and skilled faculty who will help students develop the knowledge and skills they will need for a career in this increasingly important field.
Students will acquire an understanding about food and develop an appreciation for current issues in nutrition and dietetics. Students will gain solid knowledge in biology and chemistry that is applied to studies of food and nutrient metabolism. Combined with courses in areas such as statistics, communications, psychology, and nutrition education, this background prepares students to work effectively with individuals, families, and communities to plan, develop and manage relevant nutrition programs. Outside of the classroom, students can participate in their School’s student society (NADS), the Canadian Association of Food Service Professionals (CAFP), Slow Food, Acadia student government (ASU), and the Acadia Farm, among many other activities.
The School of Nutrition and Dietetics is the “go to spot” for students interested in learning about nutrition, food, and health. As part of a unified team, Acadia University will inspire and compel students to learn, question, and develop into well-rounded, competent, independent nutrition leaders. Acadia University's strong curriculum includes innovative and integrated approaches, which enhance student and faculty visibility. Acadia University's outcomes are recognized locally and nationally. Acadia's faculty, staff, and students support each other and its reputation is enhanced as a result of the building of individual careers in teaching, scholarly activity, and community service.
