Diné College's reported overall graduation rate is 13% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its reported student retention rate is 48%. These are different measures: graduation follows a defined group of entering students through a specified completion window, while retention measures whether students return for a subsequent period.
Federal graduation-rate measures generally focus on first-time, full-time students and therefore do not describe every student's path. That distinction matters at a college enrolling transfer students, part-time students, and adults returning to education. The reported six-year rate is also 13%, while the reported four-year rate is 0%; readers should check the underlying cohort definitions before comparing those figures with an associate-degree timeline or another college's results.
The rates do not explain why individual students left, transferred, paused, or completed elsewhere. A prospective student can get a more useful picture by asking an adviser for the course sequence and expected time to completion for the specific credential they want.
A degree's possible financial return depends heavily on the occupation, location, further education, and the individual student's circumstances. One-year-after-completion program earnings figures should not be treated as a salary offer or as a prediction for a Diné College applicant.
College Scorecard earnings measures, when published for a program, describe former students in a defined federal-aid population at a particular point after attendance or completion. They are not wages for every graduate. Small programs and privacy protections can also limit what can reasonably be inferred at the major level.
Students comparing programs may find it more useful to pair any earnings measure with the credential required for their target job, local hiring conditions, potential licensing steps, and the cost and time needed to finish. Diné College reports career resources that include résumé help, career counseling, job fairs, and a career library; access to those services is not itself an employment outcome.
