What are the graduation rates for students at Chattanooga College Medical Dental and & Technical Careers?

IPEDS figures for 2024-25 put Chattanooga College's reported overall graduation rate at 12% and its student retention rate at 31%. Both warrant careful review, particularly because the reported graduation rate differs sharply from figures for earlier cohorts.

A graduation rate follows a defined group of entering students over a specified period; it is not the percentage of everyone enrolled who graduated that year. Retention generally measures continued enrollment at a later reporting point, which can be harder to interpret for short programs if some students complete before that point. Ask for the college's cohort definitions and recent program-level completion figures, including how transfers and students who changed programs are counted.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Chattanooga College Medical Dental and & Technical Careers?

A reliable program-level earnings figure one year after completion is not established here. Prospective students should not treat an advertised occupational wage as the expected pay of a Chattanooga College graduate.

When comparing outcomes, check whether a figure measures a median or an average, how long after attendance it was measured, and whether it includes all former students or only those with earnings records. Local job postings and occupational wage data can provide additional context, but neither predicts an individual student's pay, hours, benefits, or likelihood of employment.
