Admissions
At 59%, the acceptance rate makes The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences a school worth applying to with alternatives in hand. The applicant pool is small at 341, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 59% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 22% of enrolled first-years submitted an ACT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.

Completion is middling: 56% finish inside six years. 69% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Transfer-out runs to 26% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 765 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,892 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,255 at $0–30k, $22,283 at $110k+. About 78% get grants averaging $7,681, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 61% 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.
