Outcomes Overview
Saint Elizabeth graduates enter a robust nursing job market with strong earning potential. The median debt of $14,250 creates a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.20, well below the concerning 1.0 threshold. Monthly loan payments of $151 represent only 2.5% of typical graduate income, making repayment manageable. The 98.7% employment rate reflects high demand for nurses in upstate New York's healthcare systems. Most graduates work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community health centers throughout the region. With median earnings of $72,122 within ten years and relatively low debt loads, the financial math works strongly in graduates' favor. This represents a strong return on investment for specialized nursing education.
