I’m going to be a senior and I’m applying to 9 schools in California that have a Nutrition program. I’m applying to 4 schools as a Psychology major. I was wondering what are the top schools in California with a good nutrition program and schools with a great psychology program? Thanks!
Most Undergrad programs are not ranked but here are some ideas for top Nutrition major schools: https://www.universities.com/find/california/best/healthcare/nutrition

What is more important is do you have the qualifications to get into a top school?
You might think about UNR, which is less than 15 miles from the CA border on hwy 80.

The psych department offers several specialized tracks in addition to the general psych undergrad degree - one specializing in research, and the other in Behavior Analysis which could pair really well with Nutrition if you’re interested in studying behavior change vis-a-vis nutrition. https://www.unr.edu/psychology/degrees
OOS sticker price is comparable to the in-state price for UC’s. It’s a WUE school; I don’t think the Nutrition program qualifies for WUE, but there’s also the Nevada Advantage program which I believes gives discounts to WUE-region students for non-WUE programs… so I believe you would be looking at a more CSU-like price, but you’d have to look into it further and see. Pretty sure you could get the WUE rate as a psych major, and minor in nutrition, if that made a financial difference.
