Graduates are IPEDS completions for 2023–24 and include RN-to-BSN completers. Debt is the median federal loan balance of graduates who borrowed; pay is the median earnings of graduates working one year out (2024 dollars). Both from the College Scorecard. A dash means the figure is not published. “Partly” means some, but not all, of the school's programs at this level can be completed fully online, such as an RN-to-BSN track.
