Chamberlain College of nursing - graduation rate?

Published

okay, so I was just filling out my fafsa for chamberlain, and I noticed that the graduation rate is ONLY 11%?!?!?!?! This is a huuuuuuuuuuge concern to me now... Anyone know why?

As a current, almost graduate RN, student of Chamberlain I believe that the graduation rate has to do with the admissions processes. Chamberlain pretty much has an open admission process. If you can meet their minimum requirements to enter the program chances are 99% that you will get admitted to the program. With that being said, this accelerated 3-year BSN prgram is fast paced and requires dedication, organization and determination. While many students are admitted into the program, many of them lack these three things. They expect the program to be easy and put in little effort. Therefore they flunk out of the program. As far as the schools for-profit status, I can agree that they are focused on the money. Thus, the number of admissions that they do in a year. However, I will disagree with some of the comments that they are only worried about the money. The teachers are the ones that teach the classes, not the organization. The teachers have truly all about the success of each student, but there are simply some students that don't do their fair share, expect a free ride, or simply can't handle the pace of the program. If you have read this entire thread you will notice that the majority of those that did not like the program either failed out of the programs, failed classes which resulted in their delayed graduation, or only focus on the for-profit status. This has been one of the best school experiences that I have every had, and I look forward to my upcoming graduation date.

I hope that this information is helpful to those that are still on the fence.

Hi, I have plans on attending the Atlanta campus spring 2018. (Know this forum is old, but I can't find anyone on here recently who talks about Chamberlain).

Did you graduate and congrats if you did!
