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

The reported overall graduation rate for West Coast University-Orange County is 60% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. The reported four-year and six-year rates are also 60%, but those measures should not be treated as a prediction for any individual student.

IPEDS graduation rates commonly follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students, not everyone enrolled at the institution. That limitation is especially consequential here because transfer students and adult learners are a substantial part of the campus population. The reported student retention rate is 100%, but retention measures continued enrollment over a shorter period and does not mean every student eventually graduates. Applicants should ask for completion and, where relevant, licensure-exam results for their exact program and campus, with the cohort and reporting year identified.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study data reported in October 2026 shows earnings of $80,831 for the nursing field and $72,503 for dental support services and allied professions one year after completion. These are field-level figures, not salary offers or earnings guaranteed to an Anaheim graduate.

Such measures describe people captured in a defined federal data population and can be affected by employment patterns, prior work experience, geography, and the credential included in a field. They do not show every graduate's wages, hours worked, debt payments, or career trajectory. A useful comparison pairs earnings with the exact program's tuition, likely borrowing, completion outcomes, and any licensing steps required before working in the profession.
