Overview
The Associate of Arts, Direct Transfer Agreement, AA-DTA with Nutrition Emphasis prepares students for a career in nutrition, by setting them on the path to earning a bachelor’s degree in nutrition/dietetics or becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Nutrition professionals can work in many different capacities, depending on level of education achieved, credentials, and specialization. These can include nutrition counselor, clinical dietitian, health educator, sports nutritionist, employee wellness instructor, food scientist, public health dietitian, or corporate dietitian.
While SVC only offers one nutrition course at this time, there is a recommended slate of additional related courses that will set the student up for successful transfer to a bachelor’s program in nutrition, including accredited programs that lead to the RDN credential.
