Galen College of Nursing-Cincinnati

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

Galen College of Nursing-Cincinnati's reported overall graduation rate is 57% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. Its reported student retention rate is 83%. These figures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering cohort, while retention tracks whether students return for the next reporting period.

The federal graduation-rate measure generally follows first-time, full-time students through a period equal to 150% of a program's normal length. It should not be interpreted as the completion probability for every transfer student, part-time student, or student entering with a nursing credential. Applicants comparing programs should ask for completion and licensing-exam outcomes for the particular Cincinnati degree they want, including the cohort definitions and reporting years.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study information available in October 2026 reports $67,568 in earnings one year after completion for Galen's registered-nursing-related field of study. This is a reported outcome for a defined group of former students, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for an individual Cincinnati graduate.

Scorecard field-of-study earnings are generally based on the median earnings of federally aided completers whose income can be matched to federal records. A field may combine students across credentials or locations, so readers should check the underlying program label and population before treating the figure as campus-specific. Hours worked, employer, location, prior health-care experience, and further education can all affect an individual's earnings.

For job-search support, the college reports individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career fairs, and employer recruitment opportunities for undergraduates. Those services may help students prepare applications; they are not measures of placement or proof that a graduate will receive an offer.
