About This School
Arizona College of Nursing is a private for-profit institution located in Tempe, Arizona with approximately 1,202 undergraduate students enrolled. Arizona College of Nursing has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $31,681 per year. The graduation rate is 89%, and the typical graduate earns $26,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers here raise real concerns: only 9% of students graduate, meaning the vast majority who start here don't finish — and those who do are earning a median of just $26,400 a year a decade later, which makes even the $31,502 annual price tag a tough sell. The 100% acceptance rate signals open enrollment rather than selectivity, which isn't a dealbreaker for a nursing-focused school, but paired with that graduation rate, it suggests many students struggle to complete the program. Worth a closer look only if you've confirmed strong clinical placement support and have a clear plan to stay on track — otherwise, explore community college nursing pathways that may offer better outcomes at lower cost.
