Master of Science in Foods and Nutrition (MScFN) with Practicum Programs
Disclosure:
Students enrolled in this program must complete practicum placements in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Prior to those placements, students are required to show evidence of having received several vaccinations (including COVID-19), completed vulnerable sector screening, and completed various other pre-placement requirements.
The MScFN program offers a choice of two curriculum options (course-based and project-based) for students that will shape their research and coursework requirements. Both curriculum options provide students with a combination of advanced-level coursework and practical training experiences with placements across southwestern Ontario and beyond.
Graduates of either program earn a Master of Science in Foods and Nutrition (MScFN) degree and complete a practicum which is recognized by Accreditation Canada, preparing students to write the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (CDRE) which is required to become a Registered Dietitian in Canada.
For more information on becoming a Registered Dietitian in Canada, please visit these websites: Accreditation Canada, Dietitians of Canada and College of Dietitians of Ontario.
