What are the graduation rates for students at Arizona College of Nursing-Aurora?

A conventional four- or six-year graduation percentage does not provide a clear basis for evaluating Arizona College of Nursing-Aurora here. Its reported first-year retention rate was 46% in 2024-25 institutional data. Retention measures continued enrollment over a reporting interval; it is not the share of students who earn a BSN.

That distinction is especially important for a sequenced nursing program, where applicants need to know both whether students finish and whether graduates qualify for and pass the licensing examination. For a fuller picture, ask the campus for recent Aurora-specific BSN completion rates, the cohort and time period used, reasons students may pause or leave the sequence, and first-time NCLEX-RN pass rates. Outcomes from another campus should not be substituted for Aurora results.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Arizona College of Nursing-Aurora?

College Scorecard information dated October 2026 reports an earnings figure of $60,906 one year after graduation for the field categorized as "Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing." It is a reported measure for a field-of-study population, not a salary offer or a prediction for an individual Aurora student.

The figure should be read with its timing and population in mind. Early-career pay can vary with licensure, employer, hours, shifts, location, and previous work experience. The figure also does not, by itself, explain how many students completed the program or obtained nursing jobs. Applicants comparing earnings with the cost of a BSN should consider likely borrowing and repayment alongside any reported income measure.
