Until students accumulate 120 credit hours, 3+2 students will be classified as undergraduates for financial aid and Colorado Opportunity Fund purposes (COF applies to courses numbered 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 only). Upon successful completion of all requirements for both degrees, students will receive both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics degree during commencement. This degree meets the didactic program in dietetics (DPD) requirements as outlined by the Accreditation Council on Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
The proposed tuition for the undergraduate level courses can be found here.
The proposed tuition for the graduate level courses is $550/credit hour for residents and $650/credit hour for non-residents. Proposed tuition and fee schedules are outlined below.
