What are the graduation rates for students at Colorado Chinese Medicine University?

Conventional four-year and six-year graduation rates are a poor stand-alone measure for Colorado Chinese Medicine University's graduate-focused programs. Those commonly cited federal measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time undergraduates; they do not describe how long students in an acupuncture graduate program take to finish.

For a more relevant comparison, applicants can request program-level completion information that identifies the entering cohort, credential, expected program length, and whether the measure includes part-time students. It is also worth distinguishing degree completion from subsequent licensing examinations: they measure different stages of a practitioner's preparation.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Colorado Chinese Medicine University?

A single earnings figure should not be treated as a predicted salary for a Colorado Chinese Medicine University student. Income in acupuncture practice can vary with location, hours worked, employment arrangement, patient volume, business expenses, and time spent building a practice.

When reviewing an earnings claim, check whether it is a median or an average, how long after completion it was measured, and whether it covers all former students or only those captured in a particular employment or tax-record dataset. Gross receipts from self-employment are especially different from take-home earnings. Licensing, employment, and earnings outcomes should be considered separately.
