Program Analysis

At $66,125/yr, Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration graduates from Brigham Young University-Idaho land near the $75,273 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

With a 36.2x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 10% 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 $11,145 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #254 ranking among 990 Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs places Brigham Young University-Idaho in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

The limited growth from $66,125 to $69,875 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
