What are the graduation rates for students at Bucks County Community College?

Bucks County Community College's reported overall graduation rate was 32% in the 2024-25 institutional data. That completion measure concerns a defined group of first-time, full-time students finishing within 150% of the normal time for their credential - not every person who enrolls at Bucks.

The rate has risen from the reported 21% for 2019. A reported retention rate of 75% describes a different milestone: continuing enrollment from one period to the next, not earning a credential. Neither figure, by itself, counts all of the ways a community-college student might make progress, such as studying part time, transferring before graduating, or taking courses for a specific skill. Students comparing colleges should look for outcomes that match their own goal, particularly transfer outcomes if a bachelor's degree is the plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bucks County Community College?

There is no single earnings figure that can reliably describe what a Bucks County Community College student will make after attending. Pay depends on the program, whether a student completes a credential, subsequent education, occupation, location, and time in the workforce.

When comparing programs, students should check exactly what an earnings measure represents: a median or an average; all former students or only those with earnings records; and one year after completion or a later point. Earnings can be useful alongside program cost, licensing requirements, job availability, and transfer outcomes, but they are not a salary offer or a measure of every graduate's experience.
