Note: Care must be taken not to include credit hours twice under different sections of the degree sheet.
Ensure that enough upper-division controlled electives are taken to meet the 40 hour upper-division Regents requirement.
This degree program does not meet all the Didactic Program in Dietetics academic course requirements. See the NSCI Major/Dietetics Option sheet for courses to be added.
Other Requirements
-
40 upper-division hours required.
-
A 2.50 Major GPA is required. This includes all courses in College/Departmental and Major Requirements.
-
A grade of “C” or better is required in all NSCI 3000- and 4000-level courses.
-
Transfer Admission Requirement: 2.50 GPA.
Additional State/OSU Requirements
- At least: 60 hours at a four-year institution; 30 hours completed at OSU; 15 of the final 30 or 50% of the upper-division hours in the major field completed at OSU.
- Limit of: one-half of major course requirements as transfer work; one-fourth of hours earned by correspondence; 8 transfer correspondence hours.
- Students will be held responsible for degree requirements in effect at the time of matriculation and any changes that are made, so long as these changes do not result in semester credit hours being added or do not delay graduation.
- Degrees that follow this plan must be completed by the end of Summer 2030.
Finish in Four Plan of Study
The plan below is an example of how students can successfully complete degree requirements in four years. This suggested class schedule plan may be used as a guide and can be adjusted based on individual needs. Students are required to meet with an academic advisor prior to enrollment each semester to plan their class schedule, and students are ultimately responsible for completing all degree requirements.
