Two degrees. Same yardstick.
Subject and level on each side. Time, credits, pay, and price from published figures.
| Business | Nursing | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical length | 4 years | 4 years |
| Credits, typical program | 120 | 120 |
| Median pay for jobs in reach | $101,860 | $80,975 |
| Highest pay we track | $166,790 | $97,550 |
| Median net price of schools | $15,739 | $15,435 |
| Median earnings, 10 years out | $59,978 | $57,483 |
| Schools in our list | 204 | 206 |
The highlighted number is the stronger one on that row: higher pay, or a lower net price. Length is a typical full-time program, and pay is the national median for jobs that usually accept this degree. School figures describe the whole college, not one major.
