Bachelor of Science in Holistic Health Job Titles?

If I earn a bachelor’s degree of Science in Holistic Health, what are some job titles that I can call myself? Would I be considered a Nutritionist? Even a doctor?

Well, you obviously didn’t look at the website too carefully because it answers that question.
First of all you are NOT a doctor. You have to go to med school for that.
This school has three parts to it:
1. Nutrition consultant program
2. Herbalist program
3. A holistic health practitioner. The website says that the holistic health pracitioner might do these things:
Manufacturing or formulating dietary supplements.
- Holding health seminars
- Writing articles or books on various aspects of holistic medicine.
- Operating or working with holistic nutrition at a health food store.
- Educating others about alternative holistic medicine

Your title would be holistic health practitioner.

You might be able to consider yourself a nutritionist if that’s what you decided to concentrate on after graduating. And yes, I believe you would do the same things that a person who got a bachelor’s in nutrition. However, most jobs for nutritionists require higher than a bachelor’s degree in the first place.
