Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition and Food Science. Some Nutrition and Food Science programs require additional science and math courses beyond what is required by the AA-DTA degree. Consult with an advisor for options; you may want to consider an Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) Track 1 degree.
What courses should I take?

What is Nutrition and Food Science?
Nutritionists and Food Scientists understand the impact of quality food and proper nutrition on good health. Nutritionists provide direct patient care and large scale dietetic management through nutritional counseling, dietetic evaluations, menu planning, and patient monitoring, while Food Scientists often work directly with food processing and production to ensure proper nutrition, quality control, public health and safety.
Areas of study in Nutrition/Food Science: Nutrition, Diet Therapy, Nutrition Education, Food Systems Management, Food Safety, Food Chemistry and Engineering, Food Microbiology, Sensory Food Evaluation, Food Processing and Product Development. Certification as a Registered Dietitian or Certified Nutritionist requires supervised clinical training and passing a national registration exam.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Food Science?
Graduates in Nutrition and Food Science work in nutrition consulting, community health agencies, school nutrition programs, fitness and wellness programs, and specialty clinics. Food science opportunities include food safety and inspection, food service and management, food science and engineering, teaching, technical sales and marketing, quality assurance and control, food processing and production, research and development. Registered Dietitians and Certified Nutritionists work with patients, clients, doctors and nurses to develop specialized nutrition plans and support individuals’ diet changes.
Potential employers include: schools, hospitals, medical centers, nursing homes, health care facilities, food manufacturers, public health institutes, colleges and universities, restaurants, hotels, food and drug administration and other government agencies For more, please visit http://www.shoreline.edu/counseling-center/career-counseling.aspx.
