Pre-Dietetics: Transfer Associate

Students complete the science courses and other general education requirements that are commonly required for transfer to schools offering baccalaureate degrees in dietetics.  Since the requirements of senior institutions vary widely, it is essential to choose an intended transfer institution as soon as possible and carefully follow the program described in that college’s catalog.  The complete program is only available at the Harrisburg Campus. The program may also be completed at the Gettysburg Campus by taking some online courses. Some of the required courses are available at the Lancaster, Lebanon, and York campuses.
