University of Utah Nursing Costs & Outcomes

How to read this page

Separate the school-wide picture from nursing outcomes

School-wide measures describe the institution as a whole. Nursing-field measures describe nursing completers where a verified measure is available. Reporting periods differ by measure, so each value keeps its applicable cohort or reporting period.
