A college-wide minimum of 24 credits in advanced courses in one department must be completed at Brooklyn College with a grade of C or higher in each course.
In addition, all students must complete the requirements in one concentration: health science or foods and nutrition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concentration in health science
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biology 1001.
Chemistry 1040; or 1100 and 2100.
Chemistry 2500; or 3510 and 3520.
Health and Nutrition Sciences 1100.
All of the following: Health and Nutrition Sciences 2130, 2109, 2120, 1200 or 2210, 3300, and one fieldwork course chosen from 4180 or 4182.
A minimum of 12 credits in Health and Nutrition Sciences courses numbered in the 3000s and/or 4000s.
A minimum of 6 credits from the following courses: Health and Nutrition Sciences 4150, 2212, 4151, 3150, 3151, 4152, 2183, 4300, and courses numbered in the 5000s.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Students pursuing a BS with a concentration in health sciences who are planning to continue into pre-professional health programs (e.g., nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant), should consider taking Health and Nutrition Sciences 2302 and 2303 instead of Health and Nutrition Sciences 2300 and 2301. Many pre-professional programs require two basic courses in anatomy and physiology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concentration in foods and nutrition
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Students who complete this concentration will meet the requirements for the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietietics (AND). DPD is a term used by the AND to describe the program [fulfilling the academic component of membership in the society, as well as the eligibility requirements for the registration examination that satisfies the academic requirements for becoming a registered dietitian. Students must also complete a Dietetic Internship (DI) to be eligible for the registration examination.
Chemistry 1040; or 1100 and 2100.
Chemistry 2500; or 3510 and 3520.
All of the following: Health and Nutrition Sciences 2210, 2220, 2221, 2222, 2223, 3210, 3230, 3250, 4210, 4230, 4240, 4241, 4300, 5290W.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because AND requirements are subject to change, students who wish to become members of the AND or registered dietitians should consult with the DPD program director in the department to determine minimum academic requirements. For the purpose of AND verification all required courses for the degree must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Prospective health and nutrition sciences majors should consult a department counselor before choosing a program of study leading to a B.S. degree.
