Program Analysis

Graduates earn $75,828/yr, roughly in line with the $75,273 national median for Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 23.1x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 13% 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.

With first-year pay of $75,828 far exceeding the $21,602 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #87 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 $75,828 to $88,262 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
