What does the share of awards mean?
Nutrition Sciences accounts for 2.5% of the awards or completions reported for Tufts University. That award concentration is higher than at 93% of schools in this field set and is 3.1x the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.
How should I read the cost number?
Tufts University's average net price is $39,998 per year, about $159,992 over four years. That is $19,350 above the $20,648 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $83,214 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $18,554 above the $64,660 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Tufts University #120 of 136 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
