Community College of Philadelphia

What are the graduation rates for students at Community College of Philadelphia?

Community College of Philadelphia's reported overall graduation rate is 24% in the supplied 2024-25 IPEDS figures. This measure is useful, but it describes a defined cohort rather than the eventual outcome of every student who enrolls.

Federal graduation-rate reporting generally tracks first-time, full-time students who complete within 150% of a program's normal length. For a two-year credential, that commonly means completion within three years. Students who begin part time, transfer in, or take longer are not fully represented by that single rate; students who transfer out without completing at the college are not counted as its graduates under that measure.

The reported student retention rate is 60%, an additional indicator of continued enrollment rather than a graduation measure. Applicants can use these figures to frame specific questions about course availability, advising, transfer outcomes, and support for their intended program without treating either number as a prediction of their own result.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Community College of Philadelphia?

No single earnings figure can describe the likely income of a Community College of Philadelphia student. Earnings depend on the credential, occupation, location, further education, and time elapsed after study.

When comparing programs, students should check exactly whom an earnings statistic includes and when income was measured. A figure for former students who received federal aid, for example, may not describe all graduates; an institution-wide median may combine people who entered employment with those who continued their education. Earnings can inform a program choice, but they are most useful alongside completion rates, licensing requirements, transfer prospects, and the total cost of attendance.
