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

Reported IPEDS graduation measures for West Coast University-Texas are 11% overall, with reported four-year and six-year figures also at 11% in the 2024-25 data. These are cohort measures, not the percentage of all currently enrolled students who will eventually graduate.

Federal graduation-rate cohorts generally center on first-time, full-time students. That limitation matters here: the campus recorded only 10 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 148 transfer-in students in the reported intake. A small first-time cohort can produce large swings in a percentage, while transfer students and many other entrants are not represented in the traditional graduation measure in the same way.

The reported student retention rate is 50%, but retention measures continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Applicants comparing outcomes should ask for recent completion, withdrawal, and licensure-exam results for the specific program and entry route they are considering.

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

The reported College Scorecard field-of-study earnings figure for registered nursing is $80,831 one year after completion. It is an observed outcome for a defined group of former students, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every graduate.

College Scorecard earnings measures are based on federally aided students with earnings data and can exclude people whose circumstances do not meet the measure's reporting rules. Pay can also differ substantially by location, employer, hours worked, prior experience, and whether a graduate obtains licensure. Applicants should compare the figure with program costs and debt, while checking the Scorecard's current cohort definition and whether the displayed result is specific to the campus and credential they intend to pursue.
