Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Baldwin Wallace University's school-wide net price (no college reports it by major) and this major's graduate earnings.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $21,296 | $88,804 | 2.2 years |
| $30–48k | $20,381 | $84,989 | 2.1 years |

| $110k+ | $31,288 | $130,471 | 3.2 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.2 years, the average time graduates took (59% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Nursing graduates 4 years after graduating ($75,687) minus $35,438 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in OH (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $40,249 a year.

Nursing at Ohio colleges
Every Ohio college we cover that reports Nursing graduate earnings, highest first. Net price is the school-wide average after grants. Colleges marked "mostly 2-year" or "bachelor's & associate" award more associate degrees than bachelor's; their bachelor's programs often serve working adults finishing a degree (for example, nurses completing a BSN), so their graduates' earnings can run higher than those of students starting college at 18.
