Program Analysis

With a 76.2x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 14% 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 $15,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #467 ranking among 990 Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs places Georgia Highlands College in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.
