Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $70,512 track close to the $75,273 national median for Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 67.4x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

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

A #67 ranking out of 990 Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs nationally puts Great Basin College in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $70,512 to $103,512 shows 47% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
