Associate in Science Degree - Nutrition and Dietetics for Transfer

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, an emphasis or option within a nutrition or dietetics major, or a major considered similar to a nutrition and dietetics major at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. The degree prepares students for a career in nutrition and dietetics and to function in a variety of nutrition, public health, and clinical settings. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree; however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a nutrition or dietetics major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to relate and apply the key theories and concepts of nutrition to advanced academic study.
