Versión en español de este video: • La especialidad de Nut...
The Nutrition Science Major is an applied science that draws from both science and social science concepts. Within the nutrition major, you will draw upon your knowledge of biology, chemistry, and biochemistry to study nutrients within foods and how the human body digests and metabolizes everything we eat and drink.
This video also covers how things like aging, illness, exercise, disease, and pregnancy affect our nutritional needs and metabolism.
In addition to your science courses, you will take several social science courses that focus on the psychological components that make up nutrition.
Within the Nutrition major the two most common concentrations are "Dietetics" and "Nutrition Science."
Dietetics is the most common concentration because it is used by students with aspirations of becoming a Registered Dietitian. In addition, this video will give you several potential careers even if you don't become an RD.
The other most common concentration that Nutrition majors enter into is the Nutrition Science concentration.
Although there are a few career paths Nutrition Science majors can enter into, most students pursue healthcare fields such as medical, dental, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistance.
By the end of this video, you will have a superior understanding of what classes you will take, what the concentrations you can enter into, and what careers would be best for you.
I go over exactly what you can expect as a Nutrition major and include some of the basic courses you take, the concentrations you can focus on, and most importantly how you can use this major for your future career.

would that be a good enough reason to major in it though? because that's exactly how i feel - i don't really want a career in the field, but want to major in it just for the knowledge i will gain.

Not a good way to pick a major. At the end of the day a nutrition major is a specialised biochemistry major with the addition of physiology and food science. Unless you like science don't do it.

I have a medical background and am looking into getting back to work after being a stay at home mom for so long and after losing over 100 lbs on keto with PCOS I want to get into nutrition more and help other people like me. I’d love to minor in like herbology or horticulture or something as well. It is true, food is medicine.

I didn't see Sports Nutrition as an option - I've seen that to become a Sports Nutritionist one would need to become a dietitian first, but some people also go to Graduate school for Kinesiology. Where would S.N. fit in this category?
@milly4543
@milly4543 4 жыл бұрын
There's no such thing as Sports Nutrition as a degree. A dietitian can work with athletes. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist whereas dietitian is a protected title. Kinesiology is irrelevant to nutrition for the most part. The physiology units would help you contextualise nutrition but in itself Kinesiology is the study of human movement whereas nutrition is a subfield of biochemistry.
