Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Dietetics & Clinical Nutrition Services School for You
Dietetics & Clinical Nutrition Services is the #15 most popular major in Illinois with 284 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Dietetics & Nutrition Services Schools in Illinois ranking. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in Illinois to see which programs offered the best value experiences for nutrition students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
