Finding the Best Dietetics & Clinical Nutrition Services School for You

In 2020-2021, 6,158 people earned a degree or certificate in dietetics and clinical nutrition services, making the major the #17 most popular in the United States.

There are so many healthcare programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Dietetics & Nutrition Services Schools to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 196 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value programs for nutrition students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
