American Sentinel College Nursing Program Outcomes

Graduation Data

American Sentinel College of Nursing and Health Sciences (College) educates a unique population of students. There is a percentage of students completing their programs while working full-time and managing their home life. The College believes that every student should have sufficient time to complete their program and thus will not calculate graduation rates until the last student in a cohort has finished studying. The College calculates and reports graduation rates that allow five years to complete the MBA Healthcare program and six years to complete the RN to BSN, RN to BSN/MSN, MSN, and DNP programs. As required by the Accrediting Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), the College also reports completion rates for the DNP program allowing 36 months to complete.

The likelihood of individual student success cannot be determined by looking at cohort graduation rates. However, the College makes strenuous efforts to match students with programs for which they are well-prepared and have outcomes aligned with student goals. As a result, this information on the graduation rates for individual programs gives students an indication of the difficulty in program completion faced by similarly situated program entrants.

Graduation Rates by Program (2024)

Program Graduation Rate
RN to BSN 69%
RN to BSN/MSN 74%
MSN 74%
MBA HC 75%
DNP – ACEN (completion) 55%

 

Retention Rates

The design of the College’s programs is for students with significant prior higher education.  The rates in the chart below do not provide insight into the College’s ability to promote the success of students in their first year and no basis for comparison to other institutions.

To provide meaningful data, the College has calculated retention rates using as its sample all students beginning study a in a cohort year. We exclude students who enroll in a program but never actually begin a course from this calculation. The College’s retention rate for the 2022 enrollment year is 82%.

The College believes that program-specific data provides a better indication of the likelihood of similarly situated program entrants continuing their studies beyond the initial year.​
