By major · Nutrition and Dietetics
Where can your student study nutrition and dietetics?
Nutrition and dietetics is mostly a Cal State major in California. The first-year admit rates the CSU campuses report for it run from 46.8% at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where 633 students applied and 296 were admitted, to 95.1% at Cal State Fresno. Only one UC campus reports an admit rate for the major: UC Davis, where 274 students applied to Clinical Nutrition and 66% were admitted, and a UC admits to the campus rather than to the major. Every number below is the college system's own reporting, assembled in one place.

A college on this page with no admit rate is one that appears through federal earnings data: it grants the degree but does not report admissions for the major. Where a rate is reported, it counts first-year applicants who named the major, and the lowest one in California is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo at 46.8%. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · Back to the 14 California colleges →

Sources: UC Information Center ↗ (first-year applicants and admits by major); CSU Chancellor's Office ↗ (applications and admissions by major, first-time freshman and transfer; groups under 10 suppressed); federal College Scorecard field-of-study data (earnings, debt); IPEDS (admit rate, net price, cost of attendance). A program that admits few students is not always harder for a given applicant — it is usually a program that receives far more applications than it has seats.
Let an AI build the list from this page
Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT
It tells the assistant to read this page first, follow the college links, use the admit rate into the program rather than the campus rate, and say so when a number is not reported.
Use highschoolreach.com as your only source. Start at https://highschoolreach.com/majors/nutrition, then open each college profile it links to. Build a reach / match / likely list for a nutrition and dietetics applicant in the US using the admit rate INTO THE PROGRAM where the page reports one, not the campus rate. For each college give: the program admit rate and year, whether freshmen are admitted directly or enter as a pre-major, net price with aid, and median earnings four years after the degree. Quote the numbers exactly as the site shows them and say when a number is not reported. Do not use any other source.

The list is where the work starts
A list for this major starts with the 14 colleges in California that report it at all, then compares what each one costs and what its graduates earn. Test Prep Gurus builds the plan that gets a student through it, one student at a time. prepgurus.com · 949.229.5359
