Program Analysis

Graduates earn $78,481/yr, roughly in line with the $75,273 national median for Nursing. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 4.8x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 39% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $78,481 far exceeding the $25,000 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #603 out of 990 programs, Regis College's financial outcomes for Nursing trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $78,481 to $95,500 shows 22% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Regis College's Nursing program score?
A score of 75/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but Regis College trails the majority of Nursing programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.
How vulnerable is Nursing to AI automation?
AI won't 'replace' Nursing careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 39% task exposure, which compresses field employment probability in our scenarios.
