Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $70,850 track close to the $75,273 national median for Nursing programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 14.8x 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 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $20,500 in median debt against $70,850 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #369 out of 990 programs, University of Toledo's Nursing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $70,850 to $76,502 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
