<p>Hello! My name is Kylie (:</p>
<p>I wanna study for being a nutritionist in the city of Los Angeles, however, it seems that there is not a lot of undergraduate programs. What majors are related to? .. And if you could give me more information about how to be a nutritionist I will love you forever.</p>
<p>Also about having a carreer in pshysical therapy ...</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Have a great day (;</p>
<p>I assume you mean that you want to become a registered dietitian. You’ll need to complete an undergraduate degree in nutrition/dietetics and complete an approved internship. Alternatively, you can complete a degree in another field (including some prerequisite coursework) and then do a master’s degree in nutrition + an internship. Some schools now offer combined majors in nutrition and exercise science (not sure about any schools in CA that offer this combination, though).</p>
<p>Check out the website for the Academy of Nutriton & Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic association), the leading professional association in the field.

<p>Do you know if there is any major related to nutrition at UCLA? because it is like they do not have nutrition, and so in USC…</p>
<p>Neither UCLA nor USC offer a program in nutrition. If you attended one of those schools, your best option might be to major in one of the life sciences (at UCLA–physiological science or biochemistry; at USC—human biology, health & humanity, biochemistry, gerontology, biological science, or human performance), and then do a master’s degree in nutrition + dietetic internship elsewhere. A possible alternatve for an undergrad major is anthropology if you put some emphasis on biological anthropology. If you did an undergrad major in anthropology or gerontology, you’d need to make sure you took sufficient coursework in biology and chemistry to be admitted to a graduate program in nutrition. You should check the admission requirements for master’s programs in nutrition that might interest you.</p>
