<p>I noticed that there isn’t a nutritional science major at ucsd. Can you still become a dietitian or nutritionist as some sort of bio major? If so, What steps would you have to take after undergrad ?</p>
<p>what about as a chem major?</p>
<p>i don’t think a chem major would be the most practical. </p>
<p>as for the other question, google has lots of hits. this is one: [Dietitian</a> | Find Nutritionist Career Info and Dietitian Education Resources](<a href=“http://www.allalliedhealthschools.com/faqs/dietitian]Dietitian”>How to Become a Dietitian | All Allied Health Schools)</p>
<p>Majoring in Psychology might actually work. Or Child Development. Then get a masters or some kind of Dietician training after BA.</p>
<p>Look at the SDCCD- San Diego City College District. I’ve taken supplemental classes there just out of my own interests seeing looking at possible careers. </p>
<p>I think they have a Nutritionist/Dietician certificate program—</p>
<p>Hey, I’m also at UCSD but I want to be a dietitian also. Right now, I am just taking preReqs for nutrition at other schools (chemistry, biology, econ, stats) and I sent my transfer apps to Davis and Berkeley. You can see a list of accredited schools at the American Dietetic Association website, EatRight.Org</p>
<p>You could major in Human Bio at UCSD and then take community college classes to fill the other prereqs and then do a masters program to become a Registered Dietitian but if you are serious about the career, like I am, your best option is to transfer to a school that has an accredited program.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I want to become a dietitian too! maybe at UCSD or UCLA?</p>
<p>One of my acquaintances is a nutritionist now; after graduating with a BS in AP&N from UCSD, she did a nutritional science / coordinated dietetic program at CSULA.</p>
