West Coast University-Miami

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

West Coast University-Miami's reported overall graduation rate was 33% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its four-year rate was 11%, while its six-year rate was 33%. These figures warrant attention, but they describe defined student cohorts rather than the probability that any particular applicant will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time degree-seeking entrants. They may therefore be less representative of transfer students, who formed a substantial part of the Miami campus's incoming population. The reported retention rate was 60%, measuring a different outcome: continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Applicants comparing nursing schools should also seek the Miami program's cohort-specific completion, NCLEX pass-rate, and transfer-student outcomes, and check the years and definitions attached to each figure.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study data report $80,831 in earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing field associated with West Coast University-Miami. This is an observed outcome for the population included in that federal measure, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every graduate.

The figure is most useful when read alongside its measurement window and coverage: graduates who do not meet the federal earnings measure's inclusion criteria are not necessarily represented. Hours worked, nursing role, geographic labor market, further study, and prior experience can also affect pay. The reported amount does not show what graduates borrowed, how quickly they found work, or whether they passed a licensing examination. Those are separate questions when weighing the cost of a nursing degree.
