Program Analysis

At $75,809/yr, Nursing graduates from Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus land near the $75,273 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 32.3x 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.

The median debt load of $13,672 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #97 ranking out of 990 Nursing programs nationally puts Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.

Earnings growth is modest: $75,809 to $83,524 over five years (10% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
