Notes

All baccalaureate degree students must fulfill university graduation requirements, including a minimum of 120 credit hours, with at least 45 credit hours in upper-division courses.

All undergraduate students must complete General Studies requirements.

Mathematics Placement Assessment score determines placement in first mathematics course.

Students should work with their academic advisor, and consider course prerequisites, in order to complete all degree requirements in four years.

In order to be competitive for a dietetic internship to earn the Registered Dietitian (RD) credential after graduation, it is recommended that students maintain a minimum ASU cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher.

The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) requires a minimum of a master's degree in any field of study to be eligible to take the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). In addition, CDR requires that individuals complete coursework and supervised practice in program(s) accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). In most states, graduates also must obtain licensure or certification to practice.

For student resources, including academic advising appointment scheduling, forms and policies, internship information, involvement/research opportunities and more, visit the College of Health Solutions website.

Students interested in pursuing health-related professional and graduate programs should explore pre-health resources, including Pre-Health 101 Workshops and Pre-Health Advising.

Career preparation resources are available through Career Services.
