LFS:Restricted Electives/FNH General (major declared in 2022W and beyond)

FNH General (major declared in 2022W and beyond)

Plan Ahead – make sure you have pre-requisite classes for third and fourth year REs (restricted electives) that you wish to take.

Please consult the credit exclusion list when choosing REs: http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=12,215,410,414

This list contains courses with sufficient overlap that credit may be obtained for only one of the courses.

The following courses are eligible for meeting the Restricted Electives requirement for the Food, Nutrition, and Health Major declared after 2022W. Health Electives (HE) are marked with an asterisk (*). HEs may also be used as REs if all HE requirements have been met.

If you decide to take 100 or 200 level courses as your restricted electives, please ensure that you have a minimum of 45 credits of courses at 300 or higher overall, as this is a requirement for graduation.

Food, Nutrition, and Health students, for support in exploring your restricted electives, please contact your Program Advisors, Candice Rideout and Patricia Hingston by completing this online request form.
