SHSU Program Statement
The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at Sam Houston State University invites you to visit our department and explore the possibility of transferring to SHSU as a food science and nutrition major pursuing the Bachelor of Science degree. Most students enrolled in the program are preparing for careers as registered dietitians working with patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and wellness programs. Graduates of this program are eligible to apply for an American Dietetics Association (ADA) accredited dietetic internship. Completion of a dietetic internship program is a prerequisite for eligibility to sit for the Registration Examination in Dietetics, the credentialing examination for Registered Dietitians.

A maximum of 66 credit hours (excluding kinesiology) may be transferred from a community college to Sam Houston State University. Students should carefully select courses to complete the associate degree while minimizing the number of hours that might exceed the 66 hour cap for transfer credit.
In addition to the above courses, all courses in the State of Texas Common Core may be transferred between institutions.
Students may transfer to SHSU at any time as long as they meet SHSU's admission requirements. Students close to completing the requirements for the associate degree are encouraged to consider the potential advantages of completing the associate degree. One way to accomplish this is to transfer courses taken at SHSU back to the community college to complete degree requirements. Properly selected courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements at both institutions simultaneously. The applicant is encouraged to speak to an academic advisor familiar with the programs of all institutions involved to maximize the amount of transferable credit.
