What are the graduation rates for students at Charter Oak State College?

IPEDS reports a 67% overall graduation rate for Charter Oak State College in the supplied 2024-25 reporting data. Its reported four-year and six-year rates are both 100%, but those figures should not be interpreted as a prediction for a typical incoming transfer student.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow defined groups of first-time, full-time entrants, while Charter Oak enrolls many students who arrive with college credit. The college reported only 13 full-time, degree-seeking first-year students, illustrating why a rate based on a small or narrowly defined group can be volatile. The overall and time-to-degree figures may also describe different cohorts or calculations.

A transfer applicant will get a more useful estimate of their own completion timeline from a written degree audit: credits accepted, courses still needed, course availability, and the number of classes they can realistically take each term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Charter Oak State College?

Federal College Scorecard figures supplied for Charter Oak State College report earnings measured one year after completion for several fields of study. For business administration, management, and operations, the reported figure is $57,913; for health and medical administrative services, it is $52,192.

The corresponding reported figures are $41,197 for liberal arts and general studies and $34,918 for general psychology. These are program-level outcomes for the students captured by the federal measure, not starting-salary offers or promises to future graduates. The figures should not be treated as average earnings without checking the measure's detailed definition, coverage, and cohort in College Scorecard.

Prior work experience, location, occupation, further education, and the number of graduates included can all affect an earnings statistic. That context is especially important at a college serving working adults, some of whom may already have established careers before completing a degree.
