    Frequently Asked Questions about Nutrition

    Coursera's nutrition courses are designed to equip you with knowledge and practical skills in nutrition science:

    • Understanding of basic and advanced nutritional science principles.
    • Skills to assess dietary needs and plan healthy meals for different populations.
    • Knowledge of the impact of nutrition on health, wellness, and disease prevention.
    • Techniques for effective communication of nutritional information to diverse audiences.
    • Familiarity with current research and trends in nutritional science.
    • Practical experience with diet analysis and nutrition counseling.
    • Awareness of global nutrition challenges and strategies to address them.‎

    Nutrition courses on Coursera are suitable for various levels of prior experience:

    • Introductory courses require no previous background and provide a broad overview of nutrition fundamentals.
    • Intermediate courses cater to learners with some understanding of basic nutrition who want to deepen their knowledge.
    • Advanced courses are available for professionals in the health or culinary fields looking to specialize further in nutrition.‎

    Coursera collaborates with reputable educational institutions to offer a range of credentials in nutrition:

    • Professional certificates that demonstrate foundational and specialized knowledge in nutrition.
    • Specialized course certificates that validate your expertise in specific areas such as sports nutrition, pediatric nutrition, or dietary planning.
    • Credentials that can complement professional training in healthcare, fitness, or culinary arts.

    These certifications are designed to support your career development by helping showcase your expertise in nutrition.‎

    Completing nutrition courses on Coursera can help open doors to various career paths:

    • Nutritionist or Dietitian, providing tailored dietary advice and creating meal plans for clients.
    • Public Health Nutritionist, designing and implementing nutrition programs to improve community health.
    • Food Service Manager, overseeing nutrition planning in settings like schools, hospitals, or restaurants.
    • Wellness Coach, supporting clients in achieving their health and wellness goals through nutritional changes.
    • Researcher, studying the relationships between diet, health, and disease to inform public health policy and clinical practice.‎

    Because nutrition intersects with so many areas in the field of healthcare and beyond, an educational background in nutrition can lead to a wide variety of career opportunities. If you want to work directly with individuals in need of dietary advice, you can become a dietician, nutritionist, or wellness consultant. If you prefer to work in a context that goes beyond individual patients, students with a background in nutrition can work in jobs like public health nutritionist and food safety auditor.

    In addition to being wide-ranging, nutrition is a fast-growing field, as interest in the linkages between food and health increases. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dietician and nutritionist jobs are projected to increase by 11% between 2008 and 2018 - much faster than the average for jobs throughout the economy. These jobs also typically require only a bachelor’s degree, making them relatively accessible compared to jobs requiring a degree from medical or nursing school.

    At the end of the day, an education in nutrition is an opportunity to become an expert about something that everyone cares about and pursue a career that can make a big positive impact on people’s health.‎
