What are the graduation rates for students at American University of Health Sciences?

The reported AUHS graduation rate is 50% for the measured first-time undergraduate cohort. The reported four-year and six-year rates are also 50%; these figures describe particular tracked groups, not the likelihood that any new nursing, transfer, or pharmacy student will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time undergraduates who begin in a specified cohort. They can therefore leave out many transfer students and do not describe a professional doctorate in the same way. AUHS also reports a 100% student-retention rate, but a retention figure based on a small first-year group can change sharply from one year to the next.

For a more useful program comparison, applicants should ask for recent completion rates for their intended degree, the time allowed in the calculation, and - where relevant - licensure-examination outcomes. A university-wide rate cannot explain why an individual student did or did not complete a program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at American University of Health Sciences?

College Scorecard reporting lists $83,746 in earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing field at AUHS. This is a field-specific, early-career measure - not a salary promised to every nursing student or an earnings figure for all AUHS graduates.

Administrative earnings measures reflect graduates who can be matched to the underlying employment and aid records, and the reported result may not capture every graduate or every source of income. Pay also varies by occupation, location, hours worked, and prior experience. The nursing figure should not be applied to pharmacy students; applicants comparing programs should look for outcomes for the same credential and measurement period.

AUHS reports individual career counseling and job-placement assistance for undergraduates, along with résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Those services describe available support, not verified employment or salary outcomes.
