Program Analysis

At $75,809/yr, Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration graduates from Ohio University-Lancaster Campus land near the $75,273 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

With a 32.3x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 12% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

The median debt load of $13,672 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

At #99 of 990 programs, this Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration program outperforms the majority of its peers. The top 10% ranking reflects consistently above-average outcomes.

The limited growth from $75,809 to $83,524 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
