What the numbers say about Western Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing
Each finding compares this college's federal figures with other colleges. Your own price and outcome will differ.
- Price against similar colleges
- The average net price of $25,802 a year is about the same as the median of $25,502 across 95 private nonprofit colleges in Pennsylvania.
- Price by family income
- Families earning up to $30,000 paid $24,961 a year after grants, and families earning over $110,000 paid $32,112, a difference of $7,151: the lowest-income families paid 78% of the top bracket's price.
- Debt against earnings
- Graduates who borrowed left with a median of $18,461 in federal loans, 24% of the $77,750 median salary of former students ten years after they started. On a standard 10-year plan that is about $210 a month, 3% of a typical monthly salary.
- Graduation against selectivity
- It admits 100% of applicants, and 50% of first-time, full-time students graduate within 150% of normal time. Colleges admitting 75–100% of applicants have a median graduation rate of 55%, so it graduates fewer students than its selectivity alone would suggest.
- Who gets the best relative price
- Against other private nonprofit colleges, the price is lowest for families earning $30,001–$48,000: $14,931 a year, $3,391 under the $18,322 median for that income bracket.
