Program Analysis
Graduates of Azusa Pacific University's Nursing program earn $105,521/yr in their first year — 40% above the $75,273 national median, a strong market signal for this institution.
At 6.4x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $25,000 in median debt against $105,521 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #418 out of 990 programs, Azusa Pacific University's Nursing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $105,521 to $119,455 over five years (13% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
