Applied Food & Nutrition Prerequisite Courses

The following section consist of the Applied Food & Nutrition (AFN) prerequisite courses. Please indicate how you intend to complete each of the courses to the best of your ability.

The AFN prerequisite, Biochemistry (GVSU: CHM 230 or CHM 232) is the only course that requires a minimum grade of "C+" or better. If an applicant plans to pursue a Clinical Dietetics program a "B-" or better is required in Biochemistry. The AFN program recommends a "C" or better in all remaining prerequisites, however students may still apply if they have a lower passing grade as long as their minimum cummulative GPA is 2.70 or higher.

All courses listed in this prerequisite section should be complete prior to the fall start of the AFN program. Students that are not able to complete the prerequisites prior to the start of the program should contact the College of Health Professions Student Services (CHPSS) office to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss their plan.

GVSU students may use Navigate to schedule an appointment
Non-GVSU students that have previously met with a CHP advisor can call the office at 616-331-5900 to schedule an appointment.
Non-GVSU students that have NOT previously met with a CHP advisor should click on the link below and complete the request form then a CHP receptionist will connect to get you scheduled.

The General Education Program at GVSU

The Applied Food & Nutrition (AFN) program recommends the completion of the "Foundations" prior to the fall start of the program.

The General Education (GE) program at GVSU is part of your overall degree requirements and consists of four areas;

Foundations (9 courses) Physical Science, Life Science, Writing, Arts, Philosophy & Literature, Mathematical Sciences, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Historical Analysis
Cultures (2 courses) Global Perspectives, U.S. Diversity
Issues (2 courses)
Supplemental Writing Skills - SWS (2 courses)

The following AFN major courses are required and meet a GVSU General Education requirement from above as noted in parentheses.

CHM 109 (Foundations: Physical Science w/ Lab)
BIO 120 (Foundations: Life Science w/ Lab)
AHS 340 (Issues)
STA 215 (Foundations: Mathematical Sciences)
AFN 495 (SWS)

Currently enrolled GVSU can check their progress in completing the General Education and Major course requirements through Banner myPath. Non-GVSU students should meet with a College of Health Professions advisor to determine completed/remaining requirements.

Advance Placement (AP) is accepted at GVSU, however students must have taken the exam and passed with a 3 or better. Students are responsible for sending their official AP Score Report to GVSU.

Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA):

Students that have attended a Michigan Community College and have met specific course requirements as outlined by their community college may be eligible for the MTA stamp. GVSU will award credit for the General Education Foundations and 1-SWS upon successful complettion of the MTA and the receipt of an official commumity college transcript bearing the MTA credential. If you are unsure of how this process works please contact the records office at your Michigan community college for further assistance. To learn more about the MTA click the link below.
