Program Analysis

Pasco-Hernando State College's Nursing graduates start at $89,145/yr — above the $75,273 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 75.2x 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 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $18,546 in median debt clears quickly against $89,145 in annual earnings.

Ranked #460 out of 990 programs, Pasco-Hernando State College's Nursing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
