Tips for success
- DTN 532 is a prerequisite for DTN 536.
- This degree plan assumes you have already completed the Missouri State University General Education requirements, which can be done by earning an associate's degree or completing a 42-hour block.
- If you do not meet the necessary requirements for either transfer plan (two-year or three-year), you can work with an advisor to create a plan of study based on the courses that you have completed.
- Sample schedules do not take the place of a consultation with your advisor or an advisor from the nutrition and dietetics program.
