Hi Fairry,
To be a dietician, one needs to have an understand and qualification in biology, anatomy, food Science, Psychology and biochemistry that is atleast one or two life Science subject. I don't think you will be eligible with a B.A. Degree without any knowledge of how human body works. If you have you can check country and university specific admission requirements and proceed.

Yes, you can pursue a dietitian and nutrition course via distance mode. To be sure that you get a valid certificate, you should check college accreditation before proceeding to study in that particular college.
