Bachelor of Science - Dietetics and Applied Nutrition

Graduates of the Dietetics and Applied Nutrition program are prepared to work in settings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities and health clinics, as well as in nontraditional industries such as food product research and development, school food service, sports nutrition with collegiate and professional teams, recipe testing, food writing and the private chef industry.

The program prepares students to translate scientific literature when problem-solving around food production, nutritional counseling on healthy eating practices, and managing diverse populations. This is achieved through a combination of traditional academic courses in addition to Johnson & Wales’ unique culinary nutrition, experience-based cooking labs. Students develop nutrition care plans and learn nutritional diagnostic skills, as well as refine sensory evaluation techniques.
