The Associate in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics for Transfer (AS-T) degree at Woodland Community College prepares students for transfer into Nutritional Science and related majors in the CSU system. Students who choose to pursue a major in nutrition have several career opportunities in the fields of medicine, kinesiology, food science, research, and academics.

Students who complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) will receive priority admission with junior status to the California State University System and priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Students should consult with a counselor for more information on specific university major admission and transfer requirements.

The following are required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:

- Minimum of 60 CSU transferable semester units
- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework
- Satisfactory completion (C or better OR Pass*) of courses used to satisfy major requirements AND courses used to complete the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements

*Some majors may not accept a Pass in place of a letter grade. Consult with a counselor before choosing the P/NP grading option.

### Student Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

- Analyze the physiological processing of nutrients as they relate to energy balance, energy metabolism, and physical activity.
- Analyze the relationship between health and development.
- Assess methods for improving health through dietary and lifestyle modifications.
