Nutrition Class

Kuriin, BSN, RN · Dec 30, 2013

There are several types of nutrition. There's the Science of Nutrition which is typically the prerequisite to most of the health majors and then you have an introductory class that a lot of people take for physical education. For my program, we have to take Medical Nutrition which includes several case studies dealing with patients with nutritional problems.

So, to answer your question: It depends on the school. :)

I think it depends on the school. I'm taking intro to nutrition this semester. I figure it can't hurt :-)

I've always seen them as being interchangeable. If in doubt, see what the syllabus or course description says (for example, for science majors, for prehealth majors, etc)

Check the nursing school degree plan and see which actual course numbers are sufficient to meet the requirement. Don't guess.

The one I have to take is called Human Nutrition. I'm taking my pre reqs at a community college, and I think that's the only nutrition they have... a university may have more. Just call and check. :) You could try checking online too. A lot of times they have a list that tells you class equivelancies.
