Dodge City Community College

What are the graduation rates for students at Dodge City Community College?

Dodge City Community College's reported overall graduation rate is 35% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a cohort measure, not the share of every student who eventually earns a credential.

Federal graduation-rate reporting generally follows first-time, full-time students and measures completion within 150% of a program's normal length. It therefore does not fully describe students who begin part time, transfer in, or leave to complete a credential elsewhere. The reported student retention rate is 55%; retention measures continued enrollment over a specified interval, not graduation.

For a useful comparison, applicants should look beyond a single institution-wide rate and ask about completion timelines, course availability, and transfer outcomes for the specific program they intend to enter.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Dodge City Community College?

Pay after attending Dodge City Community College will depend heavily on a student's field, credential, location, further education, and work experience. A single college-wide salary figure would not describe those different paths accurately.

When comparing earnings figures for any program, students should check whether the statistic is a median or mean, when earnings were measured, and whether it covers graduates, former aid recipients, or another group. Earnings alone also leave out employment conditions, additional training costs, and the value of credits transferred toward a bachelor's degree.
