The reported overall graduation rate is 66%, and the reported student retention rate is 83%. These are different measures: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering group, while retention tracks whether eligible students continue into a subsequent period.
Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students through a specified window, commonly 150% of a program's normal length. Consequently, the graduation figure should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer student or adult learner. It was 59% in the preceding reported year, illustrating why applicants should consider the measurement period and cohort - not just a single percentage.
A nursing credential may lead to several kinds of work, but a starting salary cannot be inferred from the college's name or its graduation rate. Pay depends on the license obtained, employer, location, shift, experience, and whether a graduate works full time.
When comparing earnings claims, applicants should ask whether a figure is a median or an average, how long after completion it was measured, and whether it includes only graduates who were employed. A reported wage is not a guarantee of a job or of a particular salary. Licensing-exam results, completion rates, and documented placement methods provide important context for any earnings figure.
