Associate of Science in Nutrition

Alamo Colleges District

Nutrition science is the study of how our bodies transform everything from applesauce to zucchinis into energy. It's the study of the nutrients that make up the food we eat and how our diet affects our overall health. Whether you're preparing for a career in the field of dietetics or interested in nutrition for personal enrichment, you'll enjoy the diverse classes we offer. Employment of Registered dietitians is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations because of increased emphasis on disease prevention, a growing, and aging population and public interest in nutrition. Growth is anticipated in nursing homes, residential care facilities and physicians clinics. Our nutrition courses will prepare students for transfer to a university.
