College of the Mainland

What are the graduation rates for students at College of the Mainland?

College of the Mainland's reported overall graduation rate is 31% in the supplied IPEDS 2024-25 figures. It is a cohort-based completion measure, not a statement that 31% of everyone attending the college graduates.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students who seek a degree or certificate and count completion within a specified period. They therefore do not describe every part-time learner, returning adult, or student who arrives with prior college credit. COM's figure should be read alongside a student's own intended credential and pace of enrollment; it does not identify why an individual did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at College of the Mainland?

An institution-wide earnings figure would be a poor substitute for the likely outcomes of a particular College of the Mainland program. Earnings depend on the field of study, credential, local labor market, prior experience, and how long a former student has been working.

For a useful comparison, prospective students should look for a measure that names the program, identifies whether it is a median or an average, states when earnings were measured, and explains whose earnings were counted. A figure measured one year after leaving college may tell a different story from a later-career figure. Neither should be interpreted as a salary offer or a guaranteed return on tuition.
