Under the terms of a memorandum of understanding between Memorial University and Acadia University, selected students are able to complete the first two years of Acadia University’s bachelor of science in nutrition (dietetics option) at Memorial University and complete the final two years of the program at Acadia University.

Selection for this program is competitive and is limited to 10 qualified students each year. Students who are interested in pursuing this program must first complete 30 credit hours of prescribed courses from Memorial University before applying to the selection competition for the program.
