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

Reported graduation outcomes show that completion can take longer than four years for many students in the measured cohorts. The four-year graduation rate is 22%, while the six-year rate is 38%. A separately reported overall graduation measure is 40%; these figures should not be treated as interchangeable without checking their cohort and reporting definitions.

Federal graduation rates generally track a defined group of first-time, full-time students, not every transfer student or adult learner. That limitation is particularly relevant at Baptist, where transfers form a substantial part of incoming enrollment. The reported first-year retention rate is 53%, meaning just over half of the measured first-time students returned the following fall under that measure. These statistics describe past cohorts; they do not establish why individual students continued, transferred, stopped out, or graduated.

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

College Scorecard program figures reported in October 2026 put median earnings one year after completion at $59,782 for the nursing program grouping and $49,158 for allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions. These are program-level measures for federally aided completers with earnings captured in the underlying records, not starting-salary offers to every graduate.

Interpret the figures alongside the specific credential and occupation you want. A broad federal program category can include different jobs, and pay varies with location, hours, experience, licensure, and further education. The figures also say nothing by themselves about borrowing or whether a graduate found work in the field.
