What are the graduation rates for students at Colorado Mountain College?

Colorado Mountain College's reported overall graduation rate is 27% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. This is a defined completion measure for a particular entering cohort, not the percentage of all CMC students who eventually earn a credential.

The reported four-year graduation rate is 3%, and the six-year rate is 14%. Those measures should not be treated as interchangeable with the overall rate: they can refer to different degree levels, entry cohorts and completion windows. CMC's mix of certificate, associate and bachelor's students makes the distinction particularly important.

The reported retention rate is 40%. Graduation and retention statistics can help applicants ask about course availability and academic support, but they do not explain why individual students left or whether they transferred, changed goals or returned later. A prospective student should seek outcomes for the particular program and credential they intend to pursue.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Colorado Mountain College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures report median earnings one year after completion for certain Colorado Mountain College fields. The reported figures are $71,731 for registered nursing, $36,710 for business administration and $31,639 for sustainability studies.

These are program-level, one-year measures for graduates represented in the federal earnings data, not starting-salary offers to all graduates. A median means half of the measured graduates earned more and half earned less. Coverage depends on available records and reporting rules, and differences among fields may reflect occupation, prior experience, location and further study as well as the credential itself.

For a useful comparison, students should match the figure to the exact program and credential they are considering, then weigh it against likely borrowing and the costs of attendance. A one-year earnings measure cannot describe a full career trajectory or guarantee an individual outcome.
