Centralia College

What are the graduation rates for students at Centralia College?

Centralia College's reported overall graduation rate is 42% in the supplied 2024-25 institutional reporting. This is a defined cohort measure, not the percentage of every student who eventually earns a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting generally follows first-time, full-time students pursuing a degree or certificate and measures completion within a prescribed period, commonly 150% of the program's normal length. That definition leaves out many transfer-in and part-time students - important groups at a community college. It also does not count transferring to another institution as graduating from Centralia College.

The figure is useful for comparing a consistently defined outcome, but it does not predict an individual student's result. Applicants should also ask whether their intended program offers the courses they need on a workable schedule and, if university transfer is their goal, how the college tracks transfer progress.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Centralia College?

A College Scorecard field-of-study measure reports $37,070 in earnings one year after completion for the reported Centralia College business administration, management, and operations program. It is a program-specific measure for a defined group of former students, not a starting salary promised to everyone who studies business.

Scorecard earnings measures generally reflect the median earnings of eligible federally aided completers with earnings records, subject to the measure's reporting rules. They do not capture every graduate or explain whether someone works in the field they studied. Pay can also change with experience, further education, occupation, hours worked, and location.

A one-year figure is best read alongside program cost, likely occupations, and whether the credential is intended for immediate employment or further study. It should not be used as a college-wide earnings estimate.
