Nursing programs at Georgia Gwinnett College
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) level. In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 56 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates. A bachelor’s program is the traditional four-year route to RN licensure and the usual starting point for later graduate study; see our ADN vs. BSN guide if you are still deciding on a degree level. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $4,500 a year for in-state students and $14,100 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $10,100 a year. About 56% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the bachelor’s level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $15,600. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $84,100 one year after finishing and $90,100 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 22% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 63% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 96% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. To work as a nurse in Georgia, graduates apply for a license with the Georgia Board of Nursing and pass the NCLEX. Before you commit, verify the program’s ACEN or CCNE accreditation and state approval, and compare it with other options on our Georgia nursing schools page.
