What’s the difference between a nutrition major and a health studies major?
Hi! I am currently incredibly unhappy with the university I am attending now. And I am currently majoring a nutrition at a university that has an accredited program. I really really hate this school, so I’m thinking of transferring to another school closer to home, but it doesn’t offer nutrition, only health studies. Would this be a bad move? What is the difference between nutrition and health studies?
I am sorry you are so unhappy at your current university.
To answer your question, it really depends on what you hope to do with your degree when you graduate.
A nutrition degree often emphasizes basic chemistry, and biology, as well as food science courses. A nutrition major may be well prepared for a career as a registered dietitian.
A health studies major often is geared towards those that want to go into health communications, or health management. Think: somebody who wants to work in a hospital or healthcare setting, but is not a healthcare provider (i.e. doctor, nurse), but rather an administrator or health policy designer.
So it is really up to you, but I would advise you to figure out how a change in degree might impact your career plans.
