Clark State College

What are the graduation rates for students at Clark State College?

Clark State's reported overall graduation rate is 22% in the supplied 2024-25 institutional reporting. This is a cohort-based measure, not the percentage of all enrolled students who eventually earn a credential.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students over a specified period. At a college serving transfer students and people who attend part time or change enrollment patterns, that group cannot represent every student's path. The rate deserves attention, but it cannot on its own explain why students leave, transfer or take longer to finish.

Applicants comparing programs can ask for more specific completion and transfer outcomes, especially for a selective program or a credential with sequenced courses. Those figures may be more relevant to an individual plan than a single college-wide percentage.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Clark State College?

Potential earnings after Clark State depend heavily on the credential, occupation, location, prior work experience and whether a student continues to another institution. A college-wide salary claim would obscure those differences.

When comparing programs, students should check that an earnings figure identifies its population and measurement point - for example, whether it covers aided students, completers in a particular field, or people working one year after leaving college. A median is the midpoint of reported earnings, not a guaranteed starting salary. Earnings also leave out employment benefits, job satisfaction, further education and the cost of obtaining a credential.
