What are the graduation rates for students at Broward College?

Broward College's reported overall graduation rate is 39% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. This measure is useful, but it does not describe the eventual outcome of every person who enrolls.

Federal graduation-rate reporting follows a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students and measures completion within a specified period tied to the credential's normal length. It can leave out students who first enrolled part time or transferred in, and it does not treat transferring elsewhere as graduation from Broward College. The reported rate has risen from 31% in the 2019 data, but that change alone cannot establish why outcomes differed.

Students comparing programs should look beyond an institution-wide figure. The pace of an associate-degree transfer student, a certificate student, and a bachelor's student can differ substantially, as can the implications of completing a credential versus transferring before completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Broward College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings for federally aided students who completed a credential and had measured earnings roughly one year afterward. They are historical outcomes for defined groups, not starting salaries promised to future Broward College students.

Among the reported Broward College fields, the one-year median is $73,086 for registered nursing and related nursing study. The comparable reported figure is $43,993 for special education and teaching, $39,654 for business administration and management, and $35,652 for general computer and information sciences. These fields may differ in credential level, occupation, licensing, and the mix of students represented, so the numbers should not be read as a controlled comparison of program quality.

Median earnings mean half of the measured group earned above the figure and half below it. They do not show everyone's wages, account fully for local living costs, or capture longer-term advancement. A student evaluating career prospects should consider program completion, required licenses, transfer plans, and likely borrowing alongside the earnings measure.
