Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing at Touro University

Touro University's nursing program outperforms the national average significantly, with first-year graduates earning $85,682—about $11,000 more than typical nursing grads nationwide. However, that figure lands squarely in the middle of New York's competitive nursing market, where the state median sits higher at $89,296. This matters for families: if your child plans to work in New York (where many nursing jobs await), this program performs adequately but not exceptionally compared to in-state alternatives, including several CUNY and SUNY options where graduates earn $110,000+ within a year.

The financial fundamentals are solid. With $25,000 in median debt—slightly below both state and national benchmarks—graduates face a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.29. Earnings also grow healthily to $104,686 by year four, a 22% increase that suggests strong career progression. The moderate sample size means these figures represent a reasonable cohort, not an anomaly.

The practical takeaway: This program offers reliable entry into New York's well-paying nursing market without crushing debt. But if your child qualifies for more competitive public options in New York—particularly CUNY or SUNY programs—those could deliver similar or better outcomes at potentially lower tuition costs. For families prioritizing Touro's private school environment or specific program features, the numbers support that choice as financially viable.
