AA/AS in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services

Merritt College's Nutrition and Dietetics program trains students for work in nutrition, healthcare and related settings. Instruction mixes classroom learning with hands-on practice and mentoring from professionals. Students can choose among several credentials. One is a certificate for dietary managers. Another is an associate degree in dietetic technology. A third, the Associate of Science for Transfer, suits those who plan to continue to a university. The program publishes a student handbook that explains requirements, course sequences, policies and available support. A graduate describes how professional certification built on years of food service work and opened a path into healthcare. A brochure and a list of nutrition courses are available from the program page for those who want more detail. Counseling and enrollment links on the program page help newcomers plan their first semester.
