Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe

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

Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe reported an 89% overall graduation rate in its 2024-25 institutional figures. The reported four-year and six-year rates were also 89%. These measures describe defined groups of students followed over specified periods; they do not mean that 89% of everyone currently enrolled will graduate.

The reported rate has varied sharply across reporting years, including a 9% figure for 2023. Small cohorts or changes in which students are included can make a campus-level rate particularly sensitive to a few outcomes. The separately reported 71% retention rate measures continued enrollment, not graduation, and should not be read as a competing completion figure.

Applicants evaluating completion prospects should ask for the Tempe BSN program's most recent cohort-level graduation figures, the size of each cohort, and the definition and measurement period used. Licensure-exam pass rates are another distinct outcome and should be checked against current state nursing-board reporting.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study figures available in October 2026 report $60,906 in median earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing and related nursing field associated with the institution. This is a measure of reported earnings for the covered former students, not a starting salary offered to every Tempe graduate.

Field-of-study earnings can reflect where former students work, their prior experience, hours worked, and which individuals have earnings captured in the underlying records. The figure does not show the full range of salaries, isolate the effect of attending this campus, or account for a student's tuition and borrowing. Students comparing nursing programs should consider it alongside completion, licensure, debt, and local job-market information.
