Transfer path

Potential Transfer Majors:

  • Nutrition B.S.
  • Dietetics B.S.

Potential Career/Options After Completing a Bachelor's Degree:

This degree prepares students for transfer to four-year institutions that prepare them to become registered dietitians. Possible employment includes:

  • food service/hospitality management
  • public health agencies
  • health and fitness industry
  • communications, public relations and marketing
  • school districts
  • hospitals and skilled nursing facilities

Advising Notes:

  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGL C1000/C1000H (formerly known as ENGWR 300/480).
  • Transferable Elective Courses: any elective courses numbered 300-499, or having a 4-digit number starting with C.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The CSU system requires every student receiving a bachelor\'s degree to be knowledgeable about the Constitution of the United States, American history, and state and local government. This requirement is generally known as the American Institutions requirement. Students can complete this requirement at ARC before transferring. The list of approved courses can be found on the ARC website.

Honors Courses (H):

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better who complete 15 or more units of Honors coursework earn an Honors Transfer Certificate and can take advantage of honors-to-honors transfer agreements with highly selective colleges and universities, both public and private.
