Danielle’s Answer

Usually the school has a didactic program that specific nutrition courses such as Nutrition (Macro and micro nutrients), Community Nutrition, Health sciences (bio/chem/physiology/anatomy/organic chem). I would suggest looking for schools that offer an integrated program (didactic classes + dietetic internship).

Ann’s Answer

Your question is somewhat vague. You asked about being a nutritionist. I believe that you can become a nutritionist by getting certified in different programs. As a registered dietitian, we typically earn a Bachelors of Science in Dietetics so having a good background in biology, chemistry, anatomy, biochemistry, and all types of food and nutrition classes are key. The field of dietetics is so interesting to me and there are many different career paths you can take like management, patient care and education, counseling, teaching. Dietitians work in so many sectors like healthcare, post-secondary teaching, school districts, various state departments, merchandising/advertising, food industry and creating your own practice.

Susie Park’s Answer

Before applying to a Didactic Program in Dietetics, I completed my pre-requisite courses at a community college. Some of the required courses included Microbiology, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Biology. Taking some of these classes may help you decide if you would like to continue pursuing this career path.
