Nutrition Degree transferable?

[Carly13 0]

My boyfriend is looking into moving to the U.S.(I'm a U.S. citizen) but he is not sure whether or not to get his masters in nutrition. We have looked around and it seems that according to eatright.org he needs to get his masters in order for it to transfer. Because when he gets his masters he becomes registered with the Dietitians Board of the Health Professions Council in the United Kingdom, which is recognized by the U.S.

Does anyone know if just a basic bachelors is accepted as well? He will have a bachelors in Nutrition and Dietetics, with a focus in sports nutrition. His masters would take two years, and be more costly as there is less aid given to graduate students. This may sound silly but we've had enough of long distance and another two years can be done, but we would prefer to find another way.

Thank you for your help.

I was investigating whether a US license (not dietitians license) would transfer to the UK and I found my local university most helpful. I suggest contacting them. He can do his masters in the US at some point too, he doesn't have to do it in the UK.

I'm not sure that the circumstances are the same at all, but my sister was able to find work as a dietitian in the US (Virginia & Maine.) She has a bachelor's degree from a Canadian University.

Degrees will generally transfer but individual classes and credits will not.
