Joyce University's reported overall graduation rate is 54%, while its reported student retention rate is 86%. These measures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering group and time period; retention tracks whether students continue from one reporting period to the next.
Neither figure describes every Joyce student. Federal graduation measures commonly focus on particular first-time, full-time cohorts, whereas a healthcare institution may also enroll transfers and students pursuing credentials of different lengths. Applicants comparing outcomes should request the completion period and population for their exact program, along with any relevant licensure-exam results, rather than treating an institution-wide rate as a forecast of their own outcome.
A College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $65,048 for registered nursing and related nursing fields one year after completion. It is an observed earnings measure for the students represented in that field-of-study data, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every Joyce graduate.
The field label covers a broader nursing classification and does not, on its own, identify pay for each Joyce credential or job title. Earnings can vary with location, hours worked, prior experience, licensure, and further education. Students weighing cost against potential income should compare this one-year measure with program-specific completion, licensing, borrowing, and employment information.
