The reported overall graduation rate for Chamberlain University-Ohio is 29%; the reported four-year and six-year rates are also 29%. A reported first-year retention rate is 33%. These figures merit attention, but their definitions and cohort sizes matter.
Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow a specified group of first-time, full-time students who entered in the same period. They do not describe every transfer student or adult learner, and results at a small campus can change sharply when only a few students complete or leave. Retention measures whether a defined entering group returns for the next fall, not whether its members eventually earn a degree elsewhere.
A prospective student comparing nursing programs should ask for more pathway-specific measures as well: BSN completion for transfer and first-time entrants, time to degree, clinical progression requirements and recent first-time NCLEX-RN results for the relevant campus and reporting period.
College Scorecard field-of-study data report $70,883 in median earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing and related nursing field associated with Chamberlain. The figure is a look at a defined group's observed earnings, not a salary offer or an estimate for every Columbus graduate.
Field-of-study earnings generally reflect federally aided completers with measurable earnings who are working rather than enrolled in further study. The figure can combine students beyond one campus and does not account for differences in location, hours worked, prior healthcare experience or later career changes. It is most useful alongside likely borrowing, program completion and licensing outcomes - not as a guarantee that the cost of a degree will be recovered on a particular schedule.
