I want to be a Nutritionist/Dietician?

Forgive me if this is in the wrong category but I'm posting it in more than one category so I in fact get answers. The same question is surrounded by education lol.

I'm 24 and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I want to go put money on to school and become a nutritionist but not even sure where to start. Where do I study? What are the requirements? What school should I go to?

I'm worried because I only hold one biology from eleventh grade.

Can I apply as a mature student?

Is my cousin to portly?


Answers:    I'm within Human Nutrition at the University of Manitoba right now.
Almost any university in Canada offer a degree in nutrition. My point is called Human Nutritional Sciences and is offered in the Human Ecology faculty. (I imagine it's similar everywhere else). You end up with a bachelor of science.

Then, if you want to become a dietician, you enjoy to apply for an internship. This is very hard to attain into and only offered around 5 cities in Canada (I dream up Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and somewhere else?) In each internship class, they only adopt around 20 people, depending on how big the program is. The internship lasts around 9 months (sometimes unpaid :S)

With my high-ranking school requirements, I didn't need biology prereq, but you necessitate to have Grade 12 (or maybe since you're contained by Ont., grade 13?) Chemistry.
I would look into a few school you're interested within, and see what they have to offer.

As for the grow student...I'm not sure, you'd have to ask different universities.

Also! University of Manitoba offer Human Nutritional Sciences as a second degree. You said you wanted to stir back to school, so I assume you hold a degree already? If you do, the Nutrition degree solitary takes 2 years, instead of 4.

Hope this helps! Good luck, it get hard at times, but it's very interesting, and greatly rewarding!

Edit:
Usually if you don't have your high university requirements finished, some universities have courses you can apply to, to finish those requirements.

Help!! am i really that flabby?

I live contained by the UK and have recently looked into becoming a Nutritionist over here (things will probably be amazingly similar in Canada). I only have a general science exam from high institution, but I found out I could apply as a mature student but would need to do a foundation course within biology and chemistry then go on to do a point. I hope that helps x you will take an entrance exam and they will inevitability a copy of your high school transcripts. You might stipulation a few extra courses but you will be fine. This is an excellent field to get into esp. if you achieve into a hospital. You will be needed.
