How to read these numbers

Numbers on this page are school-wide averages from federal and state data. They do not describe every major or program. Small graduating classes may be hidden for privacy. Apprenticeships and some trade programs are not included.

At Nightingale College, net price is what families actually pay after grants and scholarships. For families earning $0–$30,000, that was about $28K per year, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($19K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($15K).

Finish on time means completing within the normal time frame for the degree (for example, six years for a four-year bachelor's degree). About 21% of students finished on time, lower than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah (50%), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide (58%). That is lower than the 50% of full-time freshmen who returned for year 2.

Typical pay six years after starting was about $63K, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($25K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($36K). Graduates who borrowed had a median of about $10K in federal loan debt at graduation, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($8K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($10K).
