### Description

The **Associate in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics for Transfer (AS-T) Degree** is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Nutrition and Dietetics majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers a Nutrition and Dietetics baccalaureate degree.  This degree is designed for students interested in an introduction to the field of Nutrition and Dietetics and for students looking to further their understanding of  nutrition and health. These courses will provide students with a solid foundation in nutrition that will serve them either for transferring or in the workplace.

1\. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
2\. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.)
3\. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better.
