What are the graduation rates for students at Cox College?

Cox College's reported overall graduation rate for the 2024-25 reporting cycle was 100%, while its four-year rate was 0% and its six-year rate was 100%. These measures use defined entering groups and time windows; they should not be read as the completion prospects of every student or every program.

The college reports very few first-time entrants in recent admissions cycles, so a small change in the number of students completing can produce a large change in a percentage. Transfer students and students entering with prior college credit may also be poorly represented by a first-time-student graduation measure. Applicants should ask their intended program for completion and licensure-exam outcomes covering a clearly stated group and period.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cox College?

College Scorecard figures dated October 2026 report earnings one year after completion of $60,046 for the allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions field and $55,452 for the registered nursing field. These are field-level measures for former students represented in the federal data, not a salary offer to an individual graduate.

One-year earnings can reflect the mix of credentials, work hours, occupations, locations, and students included in a field. They do not show what every graduate earns, and they should be considered alongside program cost, borrowing, licensure results, and longer-term career goals.
