How many students attend West Coast University-Miami?

How much does West Coast University-Miami actually cost after financial aid?

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. 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 West Coast University-Miami?

West Coast University-Miami reports a graduation rate of approximately 33% (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 West Coast University-Miami have?

Students who borrowed at West Coast University-Miami left with a median of approximately $32,946 in federal loans, and about 89% 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 West Coast University-Miami earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $102,672 for students who received federal financial aid at West Coast University-Miami. 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 West Coast University-Miami?

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 West Coast University-Miami.

West Coast University-Miami's bachelor's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $111,455 four years after graduating, 25% above the $88,910 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 $95,859; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $34,145 in federal loans at this college (about $362 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $38,145 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 6 campuses that share West Coast University-Miami's federal aid ID. For context, registered nurses in Florida are paid a median $84,190 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.

Does West Coast University-Miami get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, West Coast University-Miami's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $116,110, 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.
