Curriculum Pathway Leading to an Associate in Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences for Students Seeking a Transfer Degree to a 4-Year Institution:
The following suggested sequence of courses is designed for a transfer program to the College of Human Ecology, Kansas State University leading to a Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition. A student should plan on attending KSU six semesters to complete this major.
Since the transferability of courses will vary depending on the specific four-year institution, it is strongly recommended that if students are intending to transfer to four-year institutions, they must consult with the transfer institution and with their respective KCKCC advisors before enrolling in order to determine the transferability of their courses. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the transferability of his/her courses.
