Prospective Students
If you plan to or are currently attending a NC Community College prior to applying to UNCG, it is strongly encouraged that you contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies to discuss what courses you should complete prior to enrolling at UNCG.
These courses are dependent on your concentration of interest – Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Nutrition and Wellness or Nutrition Science.
Community College Course Equivalencies for Each Concentration
Human Nutrition and Dietetics Concentration
| NC CC Course | UNCG Equivalent |
|---|---|
| BIO 155 Nutrition | NTR 213 Introductory Nutrition NOTE: This course is also available online at UNCG |
| BIO 111 General Biology I | BIO 111 General Biology I |
| BIO 165 and 166 OR 168 and 169 A&P I and II NOTE: Need to take both semesters to get credit for BIO 271 and BIO 277 | BIO 271 Human Anatomy BIO 277 Human Physiology |
| CHM 130 and 130A OR CHM 131 and 131A Intro to Chemistry and lab | CHE 103 and CHE 110 General Descriptive Chemistry I and lab |
| CHM 132 Organic and Biochemistry | CHE 104 General Descriptive Chemistry II |
| MAT 161 College Algebra | MAT 115 College Algebra |
NOTES:
- Students can take higher level math and science courses and these will count for the lower level required courses. For example, if a student takes MAT 171 Precalculus this will be sufficient to meet the MAT 115 requirement.
- If a student wants to take Organic Chemistry before arriving at UNCG, they have to complete both CHM 251 and 252 in order to meet the requirement of CHE 205/206.
- Having completed the equivalent for BIO 280 (Microbiology) is also recommended.
