Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $34,657 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-income ratio of 27% with typical debt loads of $9,500. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent just 3.5% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 95% employment rate reflects strong demand for nursing professionals in Southern California's healthcare market. However, earnings lag behind the national nursing average of around $77,000 annually. Most graduates enter staff nursing positions at hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. The relatively low debt burden helps offset modest starting salaries. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for nursing education.
