      "markdown": "The Associate in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics (A.S.-T in Nutrition and Dietetics) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system leading to a baccalaureate degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Completion of the A.S.-T in Nutrition/Dietetics degree also provides guaranteed admission to the CSU system, although does not guarantee admission to a specific campus or major. In addition to the A.S.-T in Nutrition/Dietetics degree requirements, students are encouraged to complete additional courses that may be articulated as major preparation, prior to transfer. Some typical courses that may be articulated are Nutrition 110, Nutrition 118, Communication Studies 102, 140, Political Science 101, 101H, Sociology 100, 100H, 240, Anthropology 100, 100H, Chemistry 119, 209, and Psychology 157, 230. While these additional courses are not required for this degree, they will better prepare students for upper-division nutrition and dietetics coursework at a CSU.\n\nUpon completion of the A.S.-T in Nutrition/Dietetics, students will understand scientific concepts of nutrition related to the function of nutrients in basic life processes, explain current health issues with emphasis on individual needs, and apply food science principles related to ingredient function and interaction, food preparation techniques, sensory evaluation standards, food safety and sanitation, and nutrient composition of food.\n\n**Requirements for all Associate Degrees for Transfer:**\n\n1.  Completion of 60 semester CSU transferable units.\n2.  Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The CSU-GE (California State University General Education Breadth) or IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) pattern may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.\n3.  Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of at least a 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework.\n4.  Minimum grade of \"C\" (or \"P\") for each course in the major. If the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis the \"P\" must be equal to a \"C\" or better.\n5.  Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in the major or area of emphasis.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Identify components of a healthy diet and lifestyle that lead to optimal health and chronic disease prevention.\n2.  Analyze an individual’s nutritional status and make appropriate dietary recommendations.\n3.  Identify and analyze credible research on nutrition-related topics."
