It is accepted by some but not all CSU campuses. Students who complete this degree and transfer to a participating CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. It may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus that does not accept the degree.\n\nNOTE: Students intending to transfer into this major at a CSU should consult with a counselor and visit ASSIST for guidance on appropriate transfer coursework.\n\n**Award Notes:**\nThe following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:\n\n- Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University\n- Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major.\n- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some CSU campuses and majors may require a higher GPA. Please see a counselor for more information.\n- Minimum grade of “C” or “P” or better for each course in the major. Students should review the Pass/No Pass acceptance policy of the transfer institution prior to requesting this grade option.\n- Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Nutrition and Dietetics Program will be able to:**\n\n1. Become familiar with software and hardware related to the Nutrition healthcare field.\n2. Demonstrate knowledge to produce food in a safe and sanitary fashion in order to reduce risk of food-borne illness.\n3. Evaluate eating habits using scientific principles and nutrition research data." }, { "kind": "text", "markdown": "### Requirements" }, { "kind": "courselist", "rows": [ { "type": "comment", "text": "COURSES REQUIRED FOR THE MAJOR:", "units": "16" }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 205", "title": "General Microbiology", "units": "5", "indent": false }, { "type": "course", "code": "CHEM 200", "title": "General Chemistry I -
