of Nutrition Science (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Nutrition Science (BS) program
helps students develop the set of skills
necessary to occupy positions in food production
plans and work in quality assurance, product
development, microbiology and chemical analysis
as well as roles within consulting laboratories,
government organizations and regulatory
bodies. The Bachelor of Nutrition Science
(BS) program is offered online via distance
learning. After evaluating both academic
record and life experience, AIU staff working
in conjunction with Faculty and Academic
Advisors will assist students in setting
up a custom-made program, designed on an
individual basis. This flexibility to meet
student needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our online program does
not require all students to take the same
subjects/courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Bachelor of Nutrition Science (BS) curriculum
is designed individually by the student
and academic advisor. It specifically addresses
strengths and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.
