  • Specialization in Foods and Nutrition 
  • Honours Specialization in Foods and Nutrition

• Think about the courses you enjoyed and were successful in this year and then research programs related to those courses.
• When researching the program (via the Academic Calendar) you are checking to see if:
  • You would be interested in the courses throughout that module         
  • You have the required first year courses   
  • You meet progression (average) requirements for that program

Additional Modules

• Students interested in focusing their elective courses throughout their degree on a second subject area can select to add an additional Major or Minor to their 1st choice when completing the ITR process.
• It is not mandatory to select an additional major or minor.
• Additional modules do no impact admissions into professional programs.
• Adding an additional Major module to an Honors Specialization will require careful planning to allow students to complete the modules in four years.
• An additional module can be removed from a student's program if they decide in future years that they no longer wish to complete it.

• Students not making any changes to their program do not need to complete an Intent to Register
• Students who wish to make any of the following changes will need to submit an Intent to Register:
  • Add or drop an additional module
  • Switch from one Foods and Nutrition or Family Studies and Human Development module to another (i.e. Specialization in Foods and Nutrition to the Honours Specialization in Nutrition and Dietetics)  
• It is not necessary for senior Foods and Nutrition & Family Studies and Human Development students to select a 'Second Choice Option' if they do not wish to do so.
