Program Analysis
Graduates earn $69,180/yr, roughly in line with the $75,273 national median for Nursing. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
At 7.3x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $69,180 far exceeding the $25,864 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
At #780 out of 990 programs, Oklahoma Christian University's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
