Nutrition and Food Service Management
Courses
Current
The nutrition and food service management program provides educational opportunities for individuals who wish to pursue a career in food service management, with a focus on the health care sector.
This diploma program can be completed fully online, and students have the option of taking support courses on campus. Students studying full-time can complete the diploma in two years. Students studying part-time have a maximum of six years to complete the full diploma program options. Applicants may begin the program in any semester.
Students may choose the bachelor of business administration (BBA) transfer option of this diploma. Students in this option will complete most of the bridging courses required for admission to the third year of the BBA (business management or marketing management concentrations).
Applicants holding a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Science, dietetics, or related higher-level degree from a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution may enter the advanced standing option directly into second year.
There are three streams available:
- Two-year diploma program
- BBA transfer option
- Advanced standing option
Support courses can be completed online, in person at Langara College, or at a college close to students (depending on course transferability and if the course meets graduation requirements).
Students work in their homes at times convenient to them. Typically, students can expect to spend 8-10 hours per week per course.
