What are the graduation rates for students at Glendale Career College?

Glendale Career College's reported overall graduation rate is 63% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Its reported student retention rate is 90%. These measures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined entering cohort, while retention tracks continued enrollment over a shorter period.

The reported graduation rate was 59% in the preceding year, so a single year should not be treated as a fixed prediction for an individual applicant. An institution-wide figure also cannot show how students fare in a particular nursing or other healthcare program. For a program-level decision, ask for the applicable cohort's completion rate, the time allowed to finish, and - where licensing is involved - examination pass rates reported by the appropriate board.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Glendale Career College?

A dollar earnings figure should not be inferred from Glendale Career College's graduation rate or from the occupation a student hopes to enter. Pay after training depends on the credential earned, licensure, employer, work hours, experience, and local labor market.

When comparing programs, check whether an earnings statistic describes completers or all former students, whether it is a median or an average, and how long after attendance it was measured. A one-year outcome can look different from earnings later in a career. Students considering registered nursing should also distinguish pay for licensed registered nurses from pay for people who studied nursing but did not obtain that license. Employment support and a possible job lead are not verified earnings outcomes.
