Students interested in becoming a Registered Dietitian can apply to the B.Sc. (Nutrition) degree (offered by the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition). The prerequisites for admission for the B.Sc. (Nutrition) can be completed in the first year of the B.Sc. Food and Nutrition program offered by the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.

Applicants to the B.Sc.(Nutrition) degree must complete a minimum of one year (30 credit units) of university pre-nutrition courses, which must be completed by April 30 of the year of application, to be considered for admission.

NOTE: The pre-nutrition prerequisite courses require 6 credit units of general electives. If students apply to the B.Sc.(Nutrition) program after the first year of the B.Sc. Food and Nutrition program, the College will use NUTR 120 and FABS 110 to meet the year 1 program requirements. After admission to Year 1 of the B.Sc. Nutrition program, students will be required to complete the 6 c.u. of deficient electives from pre-nutrition year, rather than taking NUTR 120 and FABS 110, in Year 1.

Students should consult the Admission information and College of Pharmacy and Nutrition for detailed information about the admission requirements and application process for the B.Sc.(Nutrition) program. For more information, call (306) 966-6327, email Undergrad-Pharmacy-Nutrition@usask.ca, or visit the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition website.
