What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for UPMC St. Margaret School of Nursing
UPMC St. Margaret School of Nursing operates as a private nonprofit institution located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (suburb: large), with a reported undergraduate enrollment of 97 students. Institution-level records in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) classify each school by Carnegie category, ownership sector, and urban/rural locale, which is how this profile's peer group and cost cohort are determined.
Admissions and cost fields are IPEDS-derived values published through the Scorecard and retain their source reporting periods. Average net price subtracts grant and scholarship aid from cost of attendance for full-time, first-time undergraduate Title IV recipients. It is a defined cohort average, not a personalized price; the income-band fields provide more context but still do not replace an institution's current net-price calculator.
Earnings use Treasury-derived records for federally aided former students who were working and not enrolled in the measurement year; the entry cohort includes completers and noncompleters. IPEDS completion and retention rates use separate first-time, full-time cohorts, so their denominator is not the earnings cohort. Read cost, completion, and earnings as distinct historical measures, not as a causal verdict or an individual forecast.

Net price at UPMC St. Margaret School of Nursing swings rather than trends
Across 10 reported years between 2014 and 2023, the average net price here has ranged from $17,466 to $27,620 without settling into a rise or a fall. Comparing only the first and last years would read as -21.9%, but the years in between do not follow that line, so the honest summary is the range rather than a trend. Budget against the upper end, not the average.
