What are the graduation rates for students at Clover Park Technical College?

Clover Park Technical College's reported overall graduation rate was 43% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. That figure describes a defined reporting cohort, not the likelihood that any individual student will finish.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students through a set period tied to their program's expected length. They do not capture every part-time student, transfer student or person who leaves after gaining useful skills without completing a credential. For a prospective student, the published rate is most useful alongside the length, course sequence and completion requirements of the specific program they intend to enter.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Clover Park Technical College?

There is no single earnings figure that describes the likely outcome for every Clover Park Technical College student. Pay varies by occupation, credential, location, prior experience and whether a graduate enters the field they studied.

When comparing programs, students should pay attention to what an earnings measure actually tracks: a median is the midpoint of reported earnings, while an average can be pulled upward by a smaller number of high earners. The population and timing matter too. A figure measured one year after completion is not a lifetime projection, and federal outcomes datasets may exclude graduates who are not in the population they track. Earnings should be weighed against program cost, licensing requirements and local job opportunities rather than treated as a promised salary.
