Program Analysis
At $69,890/yr, Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration graduates from National American University-Rapid City land near the $75,273 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 11.6x 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 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $38,049 debt-to-$69,890 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #485 out of 990 programs, National American University-Rapid City's Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $69,890 to $77,342 over five years (11% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
