What are the graduation rates for students at Clark College?

Clark College's reported overall graduation rate is 39% in the 2024-25 institutional data. The federal graduation-rate measure focuses on a defined group of first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students and completion within 150% of a program's expected length; it is not the percentage of everyone who ever enrolled at Clark and eventually earned a credential.

That distinction is consequential at a community college. Part-time students and many returning students are outside the measure's entering cohort, while some students intend to transfer rather than finish a Clark credential. The rate is useful for comparing a consistently defined group over time, but it cannot predict an individual's prospects or, on its own, explain why students did or did not complete.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Clark College?

College Scorecard field-of-study reporting lists median earnings of $61,055 for Clark College's dental support services and allied professions completers one year after program completion. This is a program-level, post-completion measure for graduates represented in the federal earnings records - not a starting-salary offer or an estimate for every Clark student.

Readers should not extend that figure to unrelated majors or assume it reflects everyone who completed the dental program. Earnings data can omit people without a matched earnings record and do not capture differences in hours worked, location, further study or career progression. For a career decision, compare the program's total cost, licensing requirements and likely jobs alongside any reported earnings figure.
