Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Dietetics & Clinical Nutrition Services School for You
In 2020-2021, 304 degrees and certificates were awarded to dietetics and clinical nutrition services students who went to a Pennsylvania college or university. This makes it the #106 most popular major in the state.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Dietetics & Nutrition Services Schools in Pennsylvania ranking. This report analyzed 12 schools in Pennsylvania 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.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
