Program Analysis

At $29,422/yr, Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services graduates from Florida International University land near the $34,209 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 22.8x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 55% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $13,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #12 out of 37 programs, Florida International University's Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $29,422 to $58,934 over five years (100% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
