Galen College of Nursing-Dallas

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

The reported student retention rate for Galen College of Nursing-Dallas is 48%. Retention measures whether students in a defined entering cohort continue into the following academic year; it is not a graduation rate and does not show why individual students left or continued.

Applicants comparing nursing programs should request the Dallas program's latest cohort completion figures alongside its nursing licensure-examination results. They should ask which entrants each measure includes and how transfers are counted. Those definitions matter at a college where many students arrive with prior coursework.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study information reports an earnings figure of $67,568 one year after graduation for registered nursing and related nursing studies associated with the institution. This is a historical outcome measure, not an expected starting salary for every Galen College of Nursing-Dallas graduate.

The figure should be read with care: field-of-study earnings reflect the people and records included in that measure, rather than every graduate, and the broad field label does not isolate every Dallas credential or job. Location, prior nursing experience, hours worked, specialty, and whether a graduate obtains licensure can all affect individual pay. Earnings are most useful when considered alongside program costs, borrowing, completion, and licensure outcomes.
