Nutrition Assistant Program - UPDATES
Nutrition Assistant Program
CANCELLED
The two-semester Nutrition Assistant Program has not been offered since 2019. We are very sorry for these unfortunate circumstances and are unsure of the future of the program at this time.
We hope you will continue your studies at CCSF:
We are very excited to announce that effective Spring 2021 we now have an Associate Degree for Transfer in Nutrition and Dietetics. In the meantime, you can enroll in the courses now and petition later. More details on our AS-T Nutrition and Dietetics webpage.
Check the CCSF schedule to see if HLTH 170 "Introduction to Dietetics Profession" (1 unit, hybrid online) is offered. We highly recommend this career-focused course as a valuable elective if you are thinking of dietetics as a future educational or professional career goal, or are thinking of pursuing the new AS-T degree in Nutrition and Dietetics.
Consider enrolling in one of the sections of BIO 134 "Nutrition for Health Sciences" (3 units, face-to-face sections or fully online) that is offered every semester. This course is one of the Required Core Courses of the AS-T degree in Nutrition and Dietetics.
You might also consider enrolling in HLTH 177 (3 units) "Intro to Child Nutrition", a fully online 3-unit course. This is course is an excellent elective to take to supplement your nutrition studies.
Or pursue other options that the Health Education Department has to offer:
The Health Education Department offers the Associate of Science Degree in Health Education and Associate in Science in Public Health Science for Transfer degree to facilitate transfer to CSU and UC systems. Check out department's Public Health Programs.
We also offer several other certificates for those interested in health-related careers. Encourage you to check out these other options.
Community Health Worker Certificate
Community Mental Health Certificate
