Student and Staff Numbers
- Students: 500-999 students
- Undergraduates: 749 undergraduate students
- Postgraduates: The exact number of postgraduate students enrolled at Cox College is not provided in the sources. However, it is mentioned that Cox College awards 350 degrees across all undergraduate and graduate programs annually. Without specific data on the distribution between undergraduate and graduate programs, it is difficult to determine the exact number of postgraduate students. Therefore, I can only provide a range based on the total number of degrees awarded: **50-100** (assuming a rough estimate of 10-20% of the total degrees awarded being postgraduate). However, this is an approximation and should be taken as an estimate rather than an exact figure
- Academic Staff: Cox College has approximately 30-40 academic staff members
- Administrative Staff: The number of administrative staff at Cox College is not explicitly listed in the provided sources. However, based on the information given, there are at least 2 vice presidents (Jayne Bullard and Sonya Hayter) and several other administrative roles mentioned, such as the Director of Financial Aid and the Dean of Nursing. Therefore, it is reasonable to estimate that there are more than 2 but fewer than 10 administrative staff members. **Range: 3-10**

This school is incredibly unorganized. The faculty is the most unhelpful gang of misfits you will ever meet. With all the other nursing schools that are in the area this should be your last choice. It is the most expensive, with the fewest resources. I am embarrassed to have my degree from here and I plan to get my bsn from MSU.

You can get a better education cheaper elsewhere.

I highly do not recommend the Cox College nursing program to anyone pursuing a career in nursing. It is a train wreck; you will teach yourself everything. Most professors do not test you on anything they lectured in class, you will not receive a full clinical experience, and this program is notorious for last minute communication. Be aware.

Very old school, but is being remodeled. This school is full of unorganized professors. The entire program is total chaos and you teach yourself 90% of the material. The accelerated nursing program could easily be an online-hybrid program. Teachers post podcasts instead of lecturing and play games in class. Also very expensive.

I attended the accelerated BSN program at Cox and really wish that I had not. It's extremely expensive and every other professor is absolutely horrible. There was only one really great professor and she's retired now. This program is extremely disorganized and most professors do not have enough of a knowledge base to teach their courses.

Cox College has expensive tuition. It would be more understandable if the college reflected the high cost of attendance but it doesn't. The building is very old and run down, the heating and ac systems don't function properly, and the student common areas are very dated. The online learning system is old and outdated as well. Not recommended.
