The Associate in Science in Nutrition 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 transferrable semester units
🗸 Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework
🗸 Completion of all courses in the major with grade of C or better or a P if the course is taken on a pass-no-pass basis
🗸 Certified completion of the California State University General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern
