Outcomes Overview
Graduates enter the workforce immediately with a 100% employment rate and median starting salaries of $59,413. The debt-to-earnings ratio stands at just 19%, well below the national average of 36% for college graduates. Monthly loan payments of $122 consume only 2.5% of typical graduate income, making this one of the most manageable debt loads in higher education. Nearly all graduates work as registered nurses in Missouri hospitals, clinics, and healthcare systems where demand remains consistently high. The combination of specialized healthcare training, immediate job placement, and minimal debt burden creates a strong return on investment for students committed to nursing careers.
