Diploma in Nutrition and Food Service Management

Program Overview

If you want a career where no two days are the same and that provides you opportunities for independent work, problem solving, and continuous learning, consider this program your gateway to in-demand roles overseeing food service operations in hospitals, jails, daycares, long-term care facilities, schools, community organizations, and more.

Not only will you gain the skills and knowledge needed to manage food services, but you’ll also be able to promote nutritional health in various settings. Whether it be advocating for patients who require specific diets because of health or cultural reasons or ensuring kitchens are avoiding potential health risks for those with allergies or autoimmune diseases, you’ll be the champion for those who need your voice, caring attitude, and strong communication skills—like the stroke patient who requires thicker food to manage swallowing difficulties or the resident at the senior living facility who needs a lower potassium diet to manage their kidney disease. 


Your final semester will include online courses and a placement opportunity where you will put both your administrative and patient-facing skills to work. If you are currently working in a health care facility, you may be able to apply your work hours towards your placement.
