Students with a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics find employment within a wide range of organizations, such as medical facilities, research labs, government agencies, universities, pharmaceutical companies, and the food industry. This degree is also an excellent preparation for students planning to continue their education in medicine, public health and/or allied health sciences.\n\nThe AS-T in Nutrition and Dietetics is intended for students who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in Nutrition and Dietetics or a related field of study at a California State University (CSU). Students who complete this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the AS-T in Nutrition and Dietetics will be required to complete no more than 60 semester units after transfer to earn a baccalaureate degree.\n\n**To be awarded the Associate in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics for Transfer degree, students must:**\n\n(1) Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units which are eligible for transfer to the California State University (CSU) system, including both of the following:\n\n(A) The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)\n\n(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.\n\n(2) Obtain a minimum grade point average of 2.0.\n\n_While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information._\n\nAssociate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs) also require that students earn a “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis." }, { "kind": "text", "markdown": "### Learning Outcomes\n\n#### Program Learning Outcomes\n\n- Identify the role of nutrients and healthy food preparations for optimal health and well-being\n- Identify nutrition related chronic diseases by applying knowledge of nutrient functions, food sources and physiologic systems.\n- Explain how genetics and lifestyle factors affect nutritional and health status.\n- Assess a diet for nutrient adequacy using a current computerized database." }, { "kind": "text", "markdown": "### Required Courses\n\n#### Major Requirements" }, { "kind": "courselist", "rows": [ { "type": "comment", "text": "Core Requirements", "units": "16" }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 074", "title": "General Microbiology", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "FCS 019", "title": "Nutrition", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "PSYC C1000", "title": "Introduction to Psychology", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 001A", "title": "General Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "or" }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 001A & CHEM 001B", "title": "General Chemistryand General Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "LIST A" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Select one course if CHEM 001A and CHEM 001B were completed in CORE OR two courses if only CHEM 001A was completed" }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 071", "title": "Human Anatomy", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 072", "title": "Human Physiology", "indent": true, "connector": "or" }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 072", "title": "Human Physiology", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 001B", "title": "General Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 012A", "title": "Organic Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "STAT C1000", "title": "Introduction to Statistics *", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "BUS 060", "title": "Fundamentals of Business Statistics", "indent": true, "connector": "or" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "LIST B", "units": "3" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Select one course not already taken" }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 021", "title": "General Biology", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 012B", "title": "Organic Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 030A", "title": "Introduction to Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 030B", "title": "Introduction to Chemistry", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "ECON 010A", "title": "Principles of Macroeconomic Theory", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "ECON 010B", "title": "Introduction to Microeconomic Theory", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "SOC 010", "title": "Introduction to Sociology", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "STAT C1000", "title": "Introduction to Statistics *", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "BUS 060", "title": "Fundamentals of Business Statistics", "indent": true, "connector": "or" } ] }, { "kind": "text", "markdown": "*. _Students may take STAT C1000 or BUS 060 but not both_\n\n#### Total Requirements" }, { "kind": "courselist", "rows": [ { "type": "comment", "text": "Major Requirements", "units": "22" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "General Education Requirements (Cal-GETC)", "units": "34" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Transferable electives (as needed to complete 60 units)" }, { "type": "total", "text": "Total Units", "units": "60" } ] }, { "kind": "text", "markdown": "1. _Some GE courses may be double-counted within the major and will reduce the number of units.
