MGH Institute of Health Professions is not well described by the familiar four- or six-year graduation rate for first-time undergraduates. Those measures follow a defined entering undergraduate cohort, while much of the Institute's enrollment is in specialized programs entered after previous college study.
For a meaningful completion comparison, applicants should ask their intended program for its most recent cohort-based graduation or completion rate. The cohort definition and time allowed to finish matter, particularly when comparing accelerated nursing study with a longer graduate clinical degree. Where a profession publishes program-level outcomes, those figures may also include licensure-exam performance; passing an exam is a separate outcome from graduating.
College Scorecard field-of-study data report an earnings figure of $71,645 one year after completion for the Institute's registered nursing and related nursing field. This is a field-specific, early-career measure - not a salary promised to every nursing graduate or an estimate for students in physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other programs.
The figure should be read alongside the Scorecard's population and measurement notes, which determine whose earnings are included. It does not show every graduate's wages, account for differences in hours worked or local labor markets, or subtract tuition and loan payments. Applicants comparing programs should pair earnings data with program costs, completion outcomes, licensure requirements, and the type of nursing role the credential prepares them to seek.
