Associate in Arts, Emphasis in Nutritional Science
The Associate in Arts (AA), Emphasis in Nutritional Science provides the first two years of a four-year curriculum for students who wish to specialize in Nutrition. Students desiring a career in nutrition as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) should pursue the Dietetics transfer plan. Following the completion of an accredited Bachelor of Science program at a university and an accredited internship, students may pursue a career in nutrition related healthcare, wellness and prevention, sports nutrition, food and nutrition management, etc. Application for the accredited internship is a highly competitive process.
The Nutritional Sciences transfer plan provides foundational nutrition principles that can be applied to other careers in healthcare. Students may choose to major in Nutritional Sciences, earn a bachelor degree, and then seek graduate educational programs in Physician Assistant, Medical Doctor or Physical Therapist.
Details
Students must earn a grade of C or better in all courses within the program.
Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.
This pathway map will help you gain the expertise needed to:
- Communicate effectively orally and in writing, utilizing the vocabulary of nutritional sciences.
- Connect knowledge from the physical, biological, agricultural, and environmental sciences to the science of food and nutrition in health and disease processes.
- Apply food safety and food science principles in general practice.
- Evaluate socially and culturally appropriate strategies in order to respect nutritional and agricultural diverse cultures and values.
- Describe and demonstrate the governance and ethics principles of food, nutrition, dietetics and health professionals.
- Locate and evaluate nutrition literature using various technologies.
- Evaluate food systems and nutrition information based on scientific evidence.
