What would the course load/class schedule be like for a double major (BSc in Nutrition and BA in Psychology)? I really enjoy both subjects and would want to become both an RD and clinical psychologist. However, I don’t want to go in through the BSc Psychology program as I detest physics and it is mandatory… plus the BA program for psych seems much more enjoyable for me. I have heard grads with a BA in Psych can’t find a job. Therefore I thought, why not double major, take the RD exam, and word as a nutritionist while doing my masters/PhD in psych. Then after I could work in eating disorder clinics or choose which field to concentrate on. How difficult would this be? It is my ideal but I want to be realistic. Please help! Thanks 
You should be able to do a double major in those two fields. Often, a nutrition major requires some psychology courses anyway, so you’d already have some of the coursework. A BA in psychology often requires either fewer courses or fewer courses in supporting sciences, so it should give you more flexibility to combine it with the nutrition major. (Many BS programs give students a choice of physics or chemistry as a supporting science. Since you have to take chemistry anyway for a nutrition major, it would be worth your while to request your department to make an exception to the physics requirement.)
It is not true that BAs in psychology can’t find jobs compared to a BS. Both of these are nonvocational liberal arts degrees and have similar employment prospects. At the bachelor’s level, the majority of psychology-related jobs tend to be entry-level social service jobs. It is likely no one will know the difference between a BA and a BS unless they look up the specific requirements for a particular school since the degree designation varies so much across different schools and core requirements for the majors are pretty similar.
You will need a PhD to work as a clinical psychologist. You can’t count on working as an RD while doing a PhD in psychology. Although there are some part-time and consulting positions for RDs, these might not accommodate your schedule.
Also, see my post in this thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/science-majors/1502390-nutrition-psychology.html
Thank you so much! Oh and would you recommend a major in nutrition and minor in psychology over a double major for me?
A minor would be OK for admission to many professional school PsyD programs they tend to accept students even without an undergrad psych major. This would especially be the case if you already had qualifications in nutrition, and could make a strong case for your intention to specialize in eating disorders. (Keep in mind, though, that your studies will cover the full range of general clinical psych and you would have to focus on broader areas than just eating disorders.) A psych minor might be “iffy” for a traditional PhD program in clinical psych, especially since you would be at a disadvantage without research experience and compared to other applicants.
The link to my post in another thread listed various options for sequencing your nutrition and psychology studies. A double major would be great if you can fit it in with the courses in supporting sciences that you’d need for nutrition. Otherwise, a minor would work if you decided to pursue one or the other of the fields first.
I assume that by “eating disorders” you are referring to disorders such as bulimia and anorexia. There are many other areas of clinical practice in which nutrition might be useful, e.g., obesity; food selectivity, usually in kids with autism; PKU and praeder willy syndrome in persons with developmental disabilities; lifestyle (including dietary) modification in persons with cardiac disorders; swallowing disorders; adherence to diabetes regimens; rumination disorder, primarily in persons with developmental disabilities; etc. If you had any interest in areas related to developmental disabilities, a graduate degree in applied behavior analysis would be an alternative to clinical psychology.
Thanks for the info! Your answers were very helpful I appreciate it
