How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Nursing graduates four years after completing, or two years for programs that report only a two-year figure, highest first. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. For 9 of the 222 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The figures cited on this page cover the 219 schools with a reported completion median. The spread from top to bottom is $58,674, from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota at $104,761 to Benedictine University at $46,087.
Job market context in the Midwest
In the Midwest, Nursing graduates enter occupations such as Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, and Medical Assistants. The median annual wage across those occupations is $64,789, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $54,827. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 7.0% higher, with about 492 openings a year for every hundred graduates, more projected openings than graduates. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. The ranking above uses graduate earnings four years after completing, not the occupation-wide wage figures shown here.
