What are the graduation rates for students at Eastern Arizona College?

Eastern Arizona College's reported overall graduation rate is 42% in the 2024-25 institutional data. This is a cohort measure, not a prediction that any individual student has a 42% chance of completing a credential.

The standard federal graduation-rate measure focuses on first-time, full-time students who finish within 150% of the normal time for their program. For a two-year associate degree, that generally means a three-year observation window. It does not describe every part-time student, returning adult, or student who leaves after completing transfer courses without earning an EAC credential.

Students comparing colleges should therefore look beyond this single figure. Their own course load, program sequence, transfer goal, and access to required classes will affect how long completion takes. The rate should not be read as a direct measure of teaching quality or as an explanation of why students leave.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Eastern Arizona College?

There is no single earnings figure that fairly represents every Eastern Arizona College pathway. An associate degree intended for university transfer, a short occupational certificate, and coursework taken for personal development lead to different next steps and should not be combined into a promised salary.

When comparing program earnings figures, check whether the measure is a median or an average, which former students are included, and whether earnings are measured after completion or after initial enrollment. Federal earnings measures can exclude people whose wages are not captured in the underlying records and do not, by themselves, show whether someone works in the field they studied. Local job requirements, licensing, further education, and work experience are also relevant to a career decision.
