Cascadia College

What are the graduation rates for students at Cascadia College?

Cascadia's reported overall graduation rate was 32% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. This is a defined completion measure, not the percentage of every person who has ever taken a class at the college.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow a specified entering group for a set period. They can leave out or classify differently students who transfer, attend with other goals, or move in and out of enrollment - important considerations at a community college. The rate is useful for asking about completion, but it does not establish why individual students did or did not finish. Transfer-bound students should also examine transfer outcomes and progress toward their intended bachelor's program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cascadia College?

An institution-wide salary figure would be a poor substitute for earnings by program, credential, and occupation. Earnings after college also vary with prior work experience, continued education, local labor markets, and whether a student works while studying.

For a prospective Cascadia student, the practical comparison is between the jobs associated with a specific credential and the additional education those jobs may require. Someone completing an associate transfer degree, for example, may be continuing toward a bachelor's degree rather than entering the labor market in the year immediately after leaving Cascadia. Employment projections and wages should be treated as possibilities, not promised outcomes.
