What are the graduation rates for students at Galen College of Nursing-Asheville?

A campus-specific graduation percentage should be interpreted only alongside its cohort definition and measurement period. For Galen College of Nursing-Asheville, the most useful outcomes to request are completion rates for the exact nursing program and entry pathway under consideration.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students. That group may not represent the experience of transfers or adults returning to school; Asheville recorded 110 transfer-in degree- or certificate-seeking students in the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting period. Program completion and first-time NCLEX pass rates answer different questions: one tracks finishing a course of study, while the other tracks exam performance among eligible test-takers.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Galen College of Nursing-Asheville?

College Scorecard program data reported a one-year-after-completion earnings figure of $67,568 for the field labeled "Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing." It is a field-of-study outcome, not a salary offer or a prediction for every Asheville graduate.

Prospective students should check the Scorecard measure's population and whether the displayed figure applies specifically to the Asheville program before using it in a borrowing decision. Earnings depend on factors including location, hours worked, prior experience, job type, and whether a graduate obtains a nursing license. The figure also says nothing by itself about how much graduates borrowed or what they pay each month on their loans.
