Admissions
Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 27, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Only 19% of admitted students enroll — the great majority of admits go elsewhere or nowhere.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 60% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a for-profit four-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 312 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $36,100 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $35,986 at $0–30k against $41,871 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 56% of students at an average of $6,135. Borrowing is widespread: 82% take federal loans.
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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $35,986 |
| $30–48k | $36,738 |
| $48–75k | $34,273 |
| $75–110k | $40,663 |
| $110k+ | $41,871 |
