I am deciding my college list, and I want to major in nutritional science. What are some colleges known for their good nutrition majors? Is there any college known for bad nutrition major? And why?
What aspect of nutrition interests you? What goes into the body? How the body uses nutrients? Do you want a program that can prepare you to become a Registered Dietitian? That can affect your choice of program.

There’s likely at least one school in every state. What is your home state?
@happymomof1 I am still not sure if I want to become a registered dietitian, but you had reminded me to be aware of that. The websites you provided are very helpful. Thank you!
@scmom12 I’m a international student, so I don’t live in the US…Schools in different states would be okay.
To be able to work as a dieticin in your country may require some different training than here. Be sure that you hace a solid plan to get that training either here or after returning home.
@happymomof1 okay I would be aware of that. Thank you so much!
Tufts:

Tufts is a very difficult school to get into. Depending on your stats and gender, you might look at Simmons in Boston.
Also Tufts nutrition school is a graduate only program.
You may want to consider McGill:
