Program Analysis

At $95,990 per year, Nursing graduates from Felician University significantly outpace the $75,273 national average for this major, reflecting strong employer demand for this program's graduates.

At 6.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $25,000 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #474 out of 990 programs, Felician University's Nursing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $95,990 to $111,022 over five years (16% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
