Degree in Fitness/ Nutrition.

Well, I stand corrected then. Thank you for the clarification.

Is it possible to get an AAS from Charter Oak and just add CAC's nutritional coursework? It seems so much simpler and I'm a simple man. I don't do well with complicated procedures and policies and convoluted social games. Politics makes my brain implode. lol

For what purpose? Do you want to become certified or licensed? The simplest method would be to call CAC and ask them how many CLEP credits they'll accept. Attending Charter Oak and then CAC would make the process more expensive and longer. You'll be taking more tests/FEMA courses than you need to get an associate's in nutrition. COSC also requires a cornerstone course for its associate's programs. You can't transfer your test out credits from COSC to CAC. CAC will require a CLEP transcript to be sent directly to them, and they will determine which tests they will grant credit for. Applying to COSC, sending transcripts to them, paying their fees, and taking their cornerstone course just makes the process more complicated. And, you probably still wouldn't have the needed degree in nutrition in order to become certified/licensed.

You need to look into what your state requires. If your state doesn't require that dietetic technicians be registered, then you need to look at what employers require. If you don't need any kind of special certification, then just complete some of the natural health certificates at Penn Foster.
