California Institute of Arts & Technology

What are the graduation rates for students at California Institute of Arts & Technology?

CIAT's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 was 56%, while its reported student retention rate was 63%. The measures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering group, whereas retention tracks whether eligible students continued their studies.

An overall graduation rate is not the share of every student enrolled that year who graduated. Federal completion measures commonly follow a particular cohort for a specified period, often 150% of a program's normal length. Because CIAT offers career-focused programs, applicants should ask for completion figures for their specific credential and delivery format rather than treating the institution-wide figure as a prediction of their own outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at California Institute of Arts & Technology?

No reliable one-year post-completion earnings figure is established here for CIAT's reported fields of computer programming, computer and information technology administration, or computer engineering technologies. A field name alone cannot support a claim about what an individual student will earn.

When comparing published earnings data, check whether a figure is a median or an average, how long after attendance it was measured, and which former students are included. Federal earnings measures can exclude people without covered wage records and do not by themselves show whether a job is related to a student's program. For career planning, pair any earnings figure with program-specific completion information and the occupations the curriculum actually addresses.
