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

West Coast University-Ontario's reported overall graduation rate is 39%. Its reported four-year and six-year rates are also 39%. These figures describe defined student cohorts, not the probability that every newly enrolled or transferring student will finish.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students and can leave out many transfer students. That limitation is consequential at Ontario, which recorded far more transfer-in students than first-time degree-seeking undergraduates in the reported period. The reported student retention rate is 89%, a different measure that tracks continued enrollment rather than completion. Applicants comparing nursing programs should seek campus- and cohort-specific completion and licensing-exam results alongside these broader figures.

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

College Scorecard data report $80,831 in earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing field of study associated with West Coast University-Ontario. This is an observed program-level outcome, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for an individual student.

The one-year Scorecard measure is based on the median earnings of federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled in further education within its measurement rules. It does not describe every graduate, account for differences in hours worked or employer, or show what students earn after loan payments. Prospective students can use it as one point of comparison alongside completion, licensure, borrowing, and local job conditions.
