What are the graduation rates for students at Watts College of Nursing?

A conventional four- or six-year graduation-rate comparison may tell prospective Watts students less than it would at a college admitting a large first-year class. In 2024-25, Watts reported no first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate entrants and 41 transfer-in entrants.

Federal first-time-student graduation measures follow a particular entering cohort; they do not describe every transfer student's progress. Applicants should instead request recent nursing-program completion figures that identify the entering cohort, the expected program length, and whether students who changed enrollment status are included. NCLEX-RN pass rates answer a different question and should be considered separately from completion rates.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Watts College of Nursing?

A reliable one-year earnings figure for Watts College of Nursing's nursing graduates is not established here. Students should not use a general registered-nurse salary estimate as though it measured this college's graduates.

Graduate earnings can vary with location, shift schedules, experience, employer, and whether a graduate obtains RN licensure. When comparing published earnings statistics, check whether they represent a median or an average, how long after enrollment or completion they were measured, and which graduates were included. Earnings are useful context, but they do not show the full cost of a degree or an individual graduate's likely pay.
