Program Analysis

At $73,557/yr, Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration graduates from Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion land near the $75,273 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

A 6.4x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

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.

The median debt load of $19,271 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #599 ranking among 990 Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration programs places Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

The limited growth from $73,557 to $82,903 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
