Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services at the University of Northern Colorado is a bachelor's degree in Nutrition & Dietetics. Each year about 45 students complete the programme, so you're part of a group rather than a face in a lecture hall. It sits in Greeley, Colorado. One year after finishing, graduates earn a median of $27,086. Two years out, that median rises to $33,459. To put those figures in context, the national median for the same subject at bachelor's level is $32,849. Among the 64 comparable programmes nationwide, this one ranks 26th for earnings. Within Colorado, it's the only programme in its subject, so it ranks 1st of 1 by default. Compared to all other programmes at the university, it ranks 16th of 36 for earnings. If you borrow, the median debt at graduation is $25,000. That works out to a typical monthly loan payment of $265. That's the part to sit with: early-career earnings are close to the national middle for the field, and the debt is a real number you can measure against them. The programme's earnings ranking suggests it's solid but not a standout, so you'll want to weigh what you'll owe against what you expect to earn.
