What are the graduation rates for students at West Coast University-Los Angeles?

IPEDS reports a 31% overall graduation rate for West Coast University-Los Angeles in the supplied 2024-25 reporting data. Its reported four-year rate is 25%, while its six-year rate is 31%. These measures follow defined groups of entering students over different periods; they are not a prediction of any individual student's likelihood of finishing.

The distinction between cohorts is especially important here. Only a small number of students enter as first-time, full-time degree-seeking freshmen, whereas transfer students are a meaningful part of the intake. Standard graduation-rate measures focused on first-time, full-time entrants therefore do not describe the experience of every transfer or adult learner. Reported first-year retention is 100%, but retention tracks continued enrollment over a shorter interval, not graduation. Applicants should request completion and licensure-exam outcomes for their particular program and cohort.

What is the earning potential for graduates at West Coast University-Los Angeles?

College Scorecard program-level figures reported for October 2026 show median earnings measured one year after completion of $80,831 for the registered nursing program category and $72,503 for dental support services and allied professions. These are historical observations for the populations captured by the federal measure, not starting-salary offers or earnings guaranteed to future students.

Scorecard program categories do not establish that every listed program is currently taught at the North Hollywood campus. Earnings also reflect factors beyond a degree, including prior work experience, hours worked, location and whether a graduate enters the measured workforce. Applicants should check the campus and credential associated with a figure and consider debt, completion and licensing outcomes alongside pay.
