Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $93,751 at Valencia College come in 25% above the national median of $75,273 for Nursing programs.
The 100.5x 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 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $93,751 far exceeding the $16,000 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
Ranked #464 out of 990 programs, Valencia College's Nursing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
