What/where/how Do I Get the Education Needed to Become a Nutritionist?

I want to become a nutritionist. I’ve developed over the past year a very keen interest in food, it’s nutrition, the way it affects our body, etc. Right now my husband is in the military (5 more years) & we’ll probably move at least 1 more time before he’s out. Therefore I wanted to know if there was an online school/university for my area of study. Or what core classes I should take now while I can at nearby colleges that will get me to my end goal; of becoming a nutritionist.

Be careful. The word “nutritionist” has been hijacked by altmed crackpots. It is much better to pursue registration in Dietetics.
