Davis & Elkins College

What are the graduation rates for students at Davis & Elkins College?

Davis & Elkins College's reported six-year graduation rate is 39% for the measured entering cohort of first-time, full-time students. Its four-year rate is 29%. These are cohort measures: they track whether specified groups finished within a set period, rather than predicting what will happen to an individual applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning roughly two-thirds of students in the measured first-time cohort returned for the following fall. Completion figures can be affected by transfers and other changes in enrollment, so they should not be treated as a direct measure of teaching quality or student effort. A prospective student with a specific major can ask for a degree plan showing required courses, their usual scheduling and the likely path to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Davis & Elkins College?

The reported College Scorecard figure for Davis & Elkins College's registered nursing field is $64,503 in median earnings measured about one year after completion. It is a field-of-study outcome for graduates with measurable earnings in the relevant federal data, not a starting salary promised to every nursing graduate.

The timing matters: a one-year measure says little about later earnings, and the population captured may not represent every graduate. Pay also varies with job location, hours, experience and the position obtained. Students comparing programs should weigh earnings alongside completion, licensure requirements, borrowing and the kind of work they hope to do.
