What are the graduation rates for students at Ponce Health Sciences University-East?

Ponce Health Sciences University-East's reported graduation rate is 50% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. The reported four-year and six-year figures are also 50%. These measures describe specified entering cohorts under federal reporting rules, not the probability that any individual student will finish.

The institution reports an 88% student retention rate, a different measure concerned with continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Because East is relatively small, a change involving only a few students can noticeably affect a cohort percentage. Applicants comparing outcomes should ask for completion and licensure-exam results for their specific program, including the cohort years and definitions used.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ponce Health Sciences University-East?

A dependable one-year-after-completion earnings figure is not established here for East's reported nursing field of study. It would therefore be misleading to attach a salary estimate to this institution or imply that a nursing credential leads to a particular wage.

When comparing earnings elsewhere, check whether a figure is a median or an average, which former students it includes, and how long after attendance it was measured. Nursing pay also varies with licensure, role, employer, location and hours worked. Program-specific licensing and employment information can add context, but neither is a salary guarantee.
