Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $76,207 track close to the $75,273 national median for Nursing programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $19,225 in median debt against $76,207 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #895 out of 990 programs, Ottawa University-Online's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Ottawa University-Online's Nursing program score?
A score of 66/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but Ottawa University-Online trails the majority of Nursing programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.
