Carroll Community College

What are the graduation rates for students at Carroll Community College?

Carroll Community College's reported overall graduation rate is 39% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures. That measure should be read as a defined cohort outcome, not as the percentage of all students who eventually earn a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting typically follows first-time, full-time students who complete within 150% of the normal program length - for example, three years for a two-year associate degree. It does not fully describe the paths of part-time students, returning adults, or students who transfer before graduating. Carroll's reported student retention rate is 74%, a different measure that concerns continued enrollment rather than degree completion. A prospective student comparing programs should also ask about the completion and transfer outcomes most relevant to their own intended schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Carroll Community College?

A single reliable earnings figure cannot describe the likely return from every Carroll Community College program. Earnings depend on the occupation, location, prior work experience, whether a student completes a credential, and whether they continue to a bachelor's degree.

For a useful comparison, students should look for program-level outcomes that identify the population measured, how long after attendance or completion earnings were recorded, and whether the number is a median or an average. They should compare those results with program costs and any licensing requirements. A reported salary for former students is an observation about that group, not a promise of what an individual student will earn.
