Students most often pursue Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research & Clinical Nursing and Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences. Inside the classroom, students benefit from a 11:1 student-faculty ratio, 75.8% first-year retention, and 61.6% six-year graduation. Faculty pair challenging syllabi with intentional mentoring so learners keep momentum even as expectations rise. Families typically invest $20,187, about $3,189 more than the national median. EDsmart calculates return on investment at -45.2%, roughly 130.5 points below typical outcomes. Six years after enrolling, alumni report median earnings of $44,261. That's about $573 higher than national results.
