Austin Community College District

What are the graduation rates for students at Austin Community College District?

ACC's reported overall graduation rate was 20% in the 2024-25 institutional data. That figure describes completion within a defined reporting cohort and time window; it is not the percentage of everyone who ever takes an ACC course and eventually earns a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly focus on first-time, full-time, credential-seeking entrants and completion within 150% of a program's normal length. This matters at a community college: part-time students, returning adults, and students who transfer before earning an ACC credential may not be fully represented by that single measure. ACC's reported rate has risen from 10% in the 2019 series, but the graduation rate alone cannot explain why a student completes, transfers, or stops attending.

Applicants comparing programs should pair this institution-wide measure with program requirements, course availability, transfer outcomes, and any occupation-specific completion or licensure results that apply to their goal.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Austin Community College District?

There is no reliable one-year-after-completion earnings figure here for ACC students in computer programming, information technology administration, industrial production technology, or registered nursing. It would be misleading to assign any of those programs a specific expected salary.

Earnings data, when published, usually describe a defined group of former students at a particular time after enrollment or completion. They are not an offer of employment or a prediction for an individual. Local wages, prior work experience, further education, hours worked, and whether graduates enter the field all affect the result. Students evaluating a career program should consider its curriculum and licensing requirements alongside occupation-specific labor-market information, rather than treating a single earnings statistic as a complete measure of value.
