For families earning $0 – $30k, $30k – $48k, $48k – $75k, $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $12,653. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.
The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedArizona College of Nursing-Tempe does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,339, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.
It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: no students were enrolled entirely at a distance
In Fall 2023, none of Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe's 1,246 students were enrolled entirely at a distance, though 1,246 (100%) took at least one distance course. That is a count of how students enrolled, not a list of what is offered online.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

- The average net price at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe is approximately $31,681 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $27,061 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $38,153. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe?
- Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe reports a graduation rate of approximately 89% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe have?
- Students who borrowed at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe left with a median of approximately $9,500 in federal loans, and about 74% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $34,657 for students who received federal financial aid at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe.
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe earn?

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $85,169; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $40,813 in federal loans at this college (about $433 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $51,854 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 17 campuses that share Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe's federal aid ID. For context, registered nurses in Arizona are paid a median $99,500 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- How much do Dental Hygiene and Dental Support graduates from Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe earn?
- Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe's certificate graduates in Dental Hygiene and Dental Support earned a median $37,425 four years after graduating, 11% above the $33,673 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $23,827; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $9,680 in federal loans at this college (about $103 a month on a 10-year plan).

For context, dental assistants in Arizona are paid a median $49,000 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- Which programs at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 6 programs at Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Nursing (RN), bachelor's ($87,378); Health and Medical Administration, certificate ($38,892); and Dental Hygiene and Dental Support, certificate ($37,425) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,339, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
