College of Central Florida

What are the graduation rates for students at College of Central Florida?

The reported overall graduation rate for College of Central Florida is 44% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. This is a cohort-based completion measure, not the percentage of all enrolled students who graduate in a given year.

IPEDS graduation measures follow defined groups of entering students over a specified period, so they can leave out many part-time students, transfer-in students and people who enroll for a limited occupational goal. CF's reported rate was 35% in 2019 and 44% in 2023; those figures describe different entering cohorts, not the progress of one group of students. Prospective students should also ask about outcomes for their intended credential, especially when comparing a short certificate, a transfer-focused associate degree and a bachelor's program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at College of Central Florida?

College Scorecard figures reported as of October 2026 show different earnings by field one year after completion. These are field-specific outcomes for the students represented in the federal measure, not salary offers to every CF graduate.

• Registered nursing and related nursing fields: $60,334.
• Teacher education and professional development: $40,613.
• Business administration, management and operations: $34,049.

The figures should be read as reported one-year earnings measures, not as lifetime earnings or a guaranteed starting salary. They can differ with the credential earned, the graduates included in a program's reporting cohort, continued education, work hours and local labor markets. A useful comparison also considers tuition, licensing requirements and whether a field typically requires further education.
