About This School

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 63% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention suggest that a meaningful chunk of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $16,500, which keeps financial risk manageable for a nursing-focused credential. Worth considering if you're highly motivated and self-directed, but make sure you understand why so many students leave before committing.
