AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $22,195 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #169 out of 990 programs, Metropolitan State University of Denver's Nursing program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
Earnings growth is modest: $77,333 to $83,865 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
