Salary and Debt by Major at Jacksonville State University
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Jacksonville State University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Jacksonville State University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Jacksonville State University provided me with everything I needed to obtain a bachelors degree in Nursing. The program was online and only required me to come to campus a few times for testing. I was able to maintain a balance in work, family and school life. If I had to go back to do my bachelors degree I would recommend looking into their program.
