The cognate, or minor, courses can be tailored to your personal or professional interests. Choose from a wide variety of courses covering public health, clinical nutrition, psychology, exercise physiology, education and scientific writing.

Required courses on research methods, statistics and seminars on current topics ensure all students can use evidence-based research and critically evaluate all dietetic resources.
