because I was looking at UCLA's degrees and they have a lot of things that involve "Public Health", but I don't know if that's the same thing as nutrition since that is what I want to focus my major on...

Nutrition falls under the more general category of Public Health.
Public Health is the study of how health issues affect populations, and the development of methods to improve the general well-being of the public at large. Public Health majors study the science and the politics behind Public Health policies. They can investigate communicable diseases, work with the mentally ill, implement nutrition programs, or study policy.
Nutrition, as a science, is concerned with the ways in which the food we eat affects our physical well-being. Nutritionists are not only our fitness guides, reminding us of how much or how little we should be eating. They're interested in helping us understand the relationship between our diets and health.

guidance is basically the comparable as information - it particularly is a determination of info. It includes each thing that is common a pair of subject be counted, yet by itself isn't extraordinarily useful. expertise is the useful made from guidance prepare with a context in innovations. Synthesizing the uncooked guidance into groupings and codecs that make experience at the same time - a circulate chart exhibiting troubleshooting steps, a spreadsheet of economic figures, a checklist exhibiting which workers are paid over $35000/300 and sixty 5 days in income - creates expertise. Edit: Neither of those on their very own is know-how, which may be a 0.33 classification. know-how is the retained expertise and determination-making skills to apply what's common and stick to it to creating options in a context. E.g. A senior supervisor is conscious the what financial outcomes mean for the business enterprise contained in the close to destiny because of the fact he has studied previous comments, industry courses, enterprise admin thought, and so on. A poker participant folds his hand because of the fact he sees his opponent glancing lower back and lower back on the glass on the table (guidance) and translates it because of the fact the single of his opponent's 'tells' (expertise).

i wouldn't think that nutrition would be considered public health. did you see anything about diatetics? i think that's what it's called. i had a friend who majored in that. public health sounds like nursing and other medical related stuff but it could include a nutritional program as well. check with an advisor.

They are very different things, as their names clearly show; but there can be public health applications of nutrition.
