Fresno City College

What are the graduation rates for students at Fresno City College?

Fresno City College's reported overall graduation rate is 24% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. For a two-year college, the federal graduation-rate measure generally follows first-time, full-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students through 150% of the normal program length - typically three years for a two-year program.

That is a narrowly defined cohort, not the percentage of all Fresno City College students who will ever earn a credential. It can omit students who begin part time and does not, by itself, count transfer to another college as graduation from Fresno City College. The measure is useful for asking about time to completion, but a prospective student should also consider their intended credential, course availability, work schedule, and transfer goal when interpreting it.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Fresno City College?

Earnings should be evaluated by program and occupation rather than treated as a single predictable outcome for Fresno City College students. The available institution-wide information does not establish what an individual student will earn one year after completing a particular program.

When comparing published earnings measures, check whether they track all former students, only federal-aid recipients, or people who completed a credential. Also check whether the amount is a median or an average and whether it is measured after enrollment, completion, or entry into employment. Local job conditions, additional education, and the field of study can all affect the result.

The college offers career-related support, including individual and group planning, résumé preparation, interview assistance, career exploration, job listings, and employer events. Those are services available to students, not verified job-placement or salary guarantees.
