I work full time and there are no schools close by that offer a PhD in nutrition. I am a registered dietitian who went to school at the university of pittsburgh for 6 years obtaining first a BS in clinical dietetics and nutrition then getting a MS in exercise physiology. Nutrition is my passion and I would like a PhD in nutrition but there are no schools that offer it around Pittsburgh. I work full time so I need online courses. Do you think on-line degrees are good and will it help advance my career? What schools have PhD in nutrition? I checked google but it is taking forever? Anyone have an online nutrition degree? Has it helped you professionally?

For a PhD you will need to actually attend university. You could probably get away with an online program for a masters degree, but PhD work in the sciences (I'm assuming nutrition as you describe it would fall in the sciences with biology somewhere) requires 40 hours/week in a lab.
Most PhD students are supported for their work though, the average is approx. 20K/year for a grad student. It's a large 5-6 year commitment, and will likely be a huge lifestyle change for you if you currently have a well paying job, but could be worth it if you wish to take that life path. Good Luck!

You can get a PhD on-line -- but no one will take it seriously and no one will give you the kind of jobs that real PhDs get.
If you want a PhD, you should go to the best school possible. It is a very difficult process, and I do not recommend doing it on-line or part time.

I am also looking for an online nutrition doctoral program. I found one at the University of Illinois that seems to be a good choice for me.

solid grades and GREs are lots extra significant for grad college than solid grades and SATs are for college. the only different issues that are heavily seen is examine adventure and letters of reference. you would be evaluated fantastically much totally according to academic benefit.
