St. John's College-Department of Nursing Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $86,331 after ten years, putting their debt-to-income ratio at just 22%. Monthly loan payments of $199 represent only 3.5% of typical graduate income. The 98.9% employment rate reflects nursing's job security nationwide. Most graduates enter hospital systems, particularly Hospital Sisters Health System given the college's affiliation. Starting salaries of $67,542 already exceed many bachelor's degree holders after a decade. The specialized nursing focus means graduates avoid the career uncertainty facing liberal arts majors. Low debt loads of $18,750 median keep financial stress minimal compared to the national average of over $30,000. This represents a strong return on investment.
