With a B.S. degree in Nutritional Science one can work in a variety of positions. One can become a clinical dietitian, working with patients in hospitals and outpatient settings. With a degree in Nutritional Science one can also work with chefs or serve as a consultant in food and nutrition management. Public health is also an option, with jobs available in the Public Health Department. One can also work to help others learn about nutrition as a consultant or in private practice or working for a food company or in publicity helping others understand nutrition.

I found the following jobs: outpatient dietitian (advising recent patients on nutrition), certified diabetic educator at NYU Langone Medical Center (working with diabetes patients to help control their illness through diet). I also found The Dow Chemical Company was looking for a certified diabetes educator to help educate their employees. If you are looking for more investigative work, I found jobs for a flavor chemist and food chemist. There are also many jobs for people interested in helping others like wellness instructor or sports nutrition specialist.
