Program Analysis

At $34,115 per year, Nutrition Sciences graduates from University of New Hampshire-Main Campus earn slightly above the $30,533 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

At 7.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 44% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$34,115 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #14 out of 47 programs, University of New Hampshire-Main Campus's Nutrition Sciences offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $34,115 to $61,382 over five years (80% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
