Program Analysis
Graduates earn $75,774/yr, roughly in line with the $75,273 national median for Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 14.5x 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 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $75,774 far exceeding the $27,573 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
Ranked #311 out of 990 programs, Herzing University-Minneapolis's Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $75,774 to $81,525 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
