Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $66,302 track close to the $75,273 national median for Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

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 12% 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.

At $16,863 in median debt against $66,302 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

A #258 ranking among 990 Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs places Indiana University-Southeast in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

The limited growth from $66,302 to $77,840 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
