What are the graduation rates for students at Eastern Virginia Career College?

Eastern Virginia Career College's reported overall graduation rate is 66% in the 2024-25 institutional data. The reported student retention rate is 83%. These are different measures: graduation concerns completion by a defined entering group within a specified period, while retention concerns continued enrollment from one period to the next.

The graduation figure was 80% in the preceding reported year. Changes of that size warrant care when interpreting a small institution's results: the students counted and the reporting period matter. Applicants should ask for completion results for their intended credential and the length of time allowed in that calculation, rather than treating the institution-wide rate as a prediction of their own outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Eastern Virginia Career College?

A salary figure should not be assumed for Eastern Virginia Career College graduates as a whole. Earnings differ substantially by occupation, location, work hours, prior experience, and whether a graduate obtains any required license.

When comparing programs, students can use occupation-specific wage information alongside clearly defined graduate outcomes. A useful earnings measure identifies whom it covers, whether it is a median or an average, and how long after attendance it was measured. Earnings alone do not account for tuition, borrowing, or the time needed to complete training.
