Admission requirements for online nutrition programs are fairly similar across schools. Some of the common requirements include a high school diploma or the equivalent, a high school GPA of at least 2.5, and high scores on standardized tests like the SAT or ACT.
When submitting your online application, you may be asked to provide high school transcripts, a personal essay, a list of extracurricular activities and achievements, and one or more letters of recommendation.
You'll want to start applying to colleges about 6-12 months before you plan on enrolling. For most colleges on a regular admissions schedule, applications are due sometime in the fall or winter of the year before the program starts. However, if you're planning on attending an online-only school, they often accept applications all year and offer start dates scattered throughout the year.
