Galen College of Nursing-Louisville

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

IPEDS 2024-25 figures report an overall graduation rate of 61% and a student retention rate of 80% for Galen's reporting unit. Retention measures continued enrollment over a specified interval; graduation measures completion by a defined group of entering students. Neither figure means that every Louisville student has the same probability of finishing.

Reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are each 23%. These figures should not be combined with the overall rate or treated as interchangeable: federal graduation measures can follow different cohorts and time frames, particularly at an institution with multiple credentials and many transfer students. Applicants comparing programs should seek completion figures for their intended credential and ask whether the calculation includes transfers and part-time students.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study data dated October 2026 report $67,568 in earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing, nursing administration, nursing research, and clinical nursing field. This is a field-level outcome, not a promised starting salary for a Louisville graduate.

Scorecard earnings measures generally describe a defined group of federally aided former students with reported earnings; they do not capture every graduate or establish that a degree caused a particular income. Specialty, prior health care experience, work hours, location, and further education can all affect an individual's pay. Applicants can use the figure as one point of comparison alongside program cost, completion, and licensure outcomes.
