Sentara College of Health Sciences

What are the graduation rates for students at Sentara College of Health Sciences?

Graduation outcomes at Sentara College of Health Sciences are best evaluated by program and entering cohort. A conventional college-wide graduation rate based on first-time, full-time entrants can be a poor guide for a school with substantial transfer enrollment and multiple health-profession pathways.

For context, the reported 2024-25 enrollment figures include 120 transfer-in undergraduate students and no first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates. Applicants should therefore ask their intended program for its defined completion rate, the time allowed for completion, the size of the cohort, and - where relevant - licensure or certification examination results. Those measures answer different questions and should not be combined into a single success rate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Sentara College of Health Sciences?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report $67,664 in earnings one year after completion for Sentara College of Health Sciences' registered nursing field. This is a program-level earnings measure for the students represented in the federal data, not a starting salary offered to every nursing graduate.

The figure should be read alongside its measurement period and population. Federal earnings measures do not describe every graduate's work hours, location, previous experience, benefits, or further education. Applicants comparing programs should also consider tuition and borrowing, completion, licensing eligibility, and the local jobs for which a particular credential qualifies.
