Academy for
Nursing and Health Occupations
Private College in West Palm Beach, FL. Six-year graduation rate 42%. Median 10-year earnings $47,039.
Ten years after entry, the median Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations student earns $47,039 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. Six-year completion sits at 42%, near the national average for undergraduate institutions. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $20,293, neither a bargain nor a burden.

Academics
Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 28:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 739 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $28,399 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $29,019 at the $0–30k band to $38,164 at $110k+. About 67% get grants averaging $6,314, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 68% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
