Galen College of Nursing-San Antonio

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

The reported overall graduation rate for Galen College of Nursing-San Antonio is 81% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That is a cohort measure, not the probability that any particular new student will complete a program.

Other reported measures put both the four-year and six-year graduation rates at 50%. These figures should not be combined or treated as contradictory without checking the underlying cohorts and definitions: graduation-rate measures can follow different entering groups, credentials and observation periods. The reported retention rate is 61%, measuring continued enrollment for a defined group rather than eventual graduation.

For a nursing applicant, campus- and program-specific completion figures can be more informative than a single institution-wide rate. It is also worth examining the applicable first-time licensing-examination pass rates, while remembering that a pass rate generally describes students who took the exam, not everyone who began the program.

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

A College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $67,568 in earnings one year after completion for the nursing field associated with Galen College of Nursing-San Antonio. This is an outcome for the measured former-student population, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for every graduate.

Federal field-of-study earnings measures reflect people who meet the dataset's inclusion rules and can encompass differing work hours, locations and nursing roles. The figure does not show how much graduates borrowed, whether they work in the occupation they studied or how earnings develop later. Applicants comparing programs should consider it alongside total borrowing, completion outcomes and licensing results.

Galen reports career assistance that includes individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs and employer recruitment opportunities. Those are services, not verified job-placement rates; students should ask what support is available to San Antonio graduates and whether any employment statistic uses a clearly defined graduating cohort.
