National Council of Licensure Examination Results and Graduation Information

  1. LSN Retention/Graduation rates reflect the percentage of students that attend a nursing course, either in Fall or Spring semesters, and graduated from the program within 3 years.
  2. Department of Educations (NCES) Graduation rates reflect first-time/first-year full-time diploma seeking students that enter in the fall semester and graduate within 1.5 times the published length of the program. This rate generally includes students that are taking courses prior to nursing, and is comprised of a very small sampling.
  3. Employment rates reflect self-reported employment 6 months after the time of graduation from the program.
  4. National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) rates reflect the percentage of graduates who pass the examination in their first attempt within one year after their graduation from the program. Data is reported beginning July 1 of the graduation year through June 30 of the following year by Missouri State Board of Nursing.
