Admissions
Arizona College of Nursing-Tucson admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 36 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. About 36% of admitted students enroll, a yield in the normal range.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

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. Just 50% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 547 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 547 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $33,771 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Income makes less difference than usual: $35,127 at $0–30k, $41,932 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 63% of students at an average of $6,289. Borrowing is widespread: 77% 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 | $35,127 |
| $30–48k | $39,080 |
| $48–75k | $36,842 |
