Finding Arizona College of Nursing-Las Vegas charges 41% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $23,531. That is 41% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Nevada median ($9,663), sticker tuition is about 2.4×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 2.0×.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Arizona College of Nursing-Las Vegas is $30,921.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $30,921 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $20,562 above the Nevada median net price. Versus rural campuses, net price runs $12,221 above the locale median.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
