College of the Marshall Islands

What are the graduation rates for students at College of the Marshall Islands?

CMI's reported overall graduation rate is 18% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures. The comparable reported rate for the preceding cohort was 14%, so the latest figure represents an increase, though it remains a limited measure of outcomes.

The standard IPEDS graduation-rate measure follows a defined group of first-time, full-time degree- or certificate-seeking students and counts those who complete within 150% of a program's normal time. For a two-year credential, that typically means completion within three years. It does not describe every part-time, returning, or transfer student, and it does not by itself explain why students stop, pause, transfer, or take longer. Applicants can use the figure as a prompt to ask a program adviser about course availability, sequencing, and realistic time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at College of the Marshall Islands?

CMI's teacher-education program should not be assigned a one-year post-completion salary based on the College Scorecard program measure cited for this institution. A specific earnings claim would imply a level of evidence that the reported program result does not support.

College Scorecard program earnings measures, when reportable, concern people associated with a particular credential and field at a specified time after completion; they are not starting-salary offers or promises to current students. Earnings also vary with occupation, location, further education, and whether a graduate works full time. Prospective teacher-education students may find it more useful to compare the program's credential and teaching requirements with the pay scales and hiring rules in the jurisdiction where they intend to work.
