Program Analysis
Starting salaries of $63,317/yr fall 16% below the $75,273 national median for Nursing. The financial case depends heavily on whether tuition compensates.
The 10.5x 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 10% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $42,951 debt-to-$63,317 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #890 out of 990 programs, Provo College's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
