Program Analysis

Graduates earn $71,404/yr, roughly in line with the $75,273 national median for Nursing. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 10.9x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $71,404 far exceeding the $24,807 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #612 out of 990 programs, Miami University-Oxford's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
