Cochise County Community College District

What are the graduation rates for students at Cochise County Community College District?

Cochise College's reported overall graduation rate is 30% in the cited IPEDS reporting. For a two-year college, this commonly used federal measure follows a defined group of first-time, full-time degree- or certificate-seeking students and counts completion within 150% of the program's normal time.

The figure is not the percentage of everyone who ever takes a Cochise class and later earns a credential. It does not represent many part-time students, returning adults, or students who transfer before completing a Cochise award. Nor does it show whether a particular nursing, technical, or transfer pathway has the same outcome. Applicants comparing programs should ask for program-level completion and transfer information where available.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cochise County Community College District?

A Cochise College credential does not imply a single reliable earnings figure. Outcomes depend on the field, credential, local labor market, prior work experience, and whether a student transfers for further study.

When comparing earnings claims, students should check the population and timing behind the number: earnings measured one year after completing a program are not interchangeable with earnings measured several years after enrollment. A median also describes the midpoint of a measured group, not an individual's expected salary. For career programs, licensing requirements, local job openings, and program-specific employment information may be more useful than a college-wide figure.
