B.S. in Psychology to a Nutritionist

Question
Hello Mr. Rost,

My name is Giselle and I am a Senior at the State University College at Oneonta. I am a Psychology major but I would really like to become a Nutritionist/ Community Dietitian. I will graduate in December and I was wondering if you could offer me some advice on what would be the most logical thing I should do at this point to start preparing to become a Nutritionist. Should I begin another Bachelors program in Nutrition? Should I go straight to Graduate school? Or should I stay here at SUNY Oneonta for longer and add a Degree in Nutrition? Are there any helpful resources that you know of? What degree programs will get me to my goal? Do I need a Master's or a Ph.D?  I hope this is not too overwhelming. I just really need some answers and google is not cutting it. :) Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Giselle R. C.

Answer
I really can't help you with this. Sorry. I am not a nutritionist, and as my Bio says, I really have no FORMAL education in nutrition or weight loss. I am just a self-taught weight-loss expert. I would recommend finding a college that has the degree program you're interested in and talking to one of their counsellors?OR?try a different Expert on this site that DOES have a formal education. Good luck.
