Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) will launch a baccalauréat en nutrition in Fall 2026, becoming the third university in Québec to offer the program in French. Designed for students pursuing careers as dietitician-nutritionists, the 120-credit offering will be delivered full-time at the Trois-Rivières campus and capped at 45 students per year. Students will take courses in population health, food science, and clinical methods, and complete over 1,400 hours of practical training. The new program addresses regional labour market needs and strengthens access to health training in the Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec regions.
