Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $74,394 track close to the $75,273 national median for Nursing programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 9.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

At $36,700 in median debt against $74,394 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
At #520 out of 990 programs, Hondros College of Nursing's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $74,394 to $82,353 over five years (11% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
