Glendale Community College

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

Glendale Community College's reported overall graduation rate was 16% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. For a two-year college, the commonly cited federal graduation measure follows a defined group of first-time, full-time degree- or certificate-seeking students and checks completion within 150% of the program's normal length - typically three years for a two-year program.

This is an important outcome measure, but it is not the percentage of all GCC students who eventually earn a credential. It does not fully represent students who began part-time, transferred in, or left for another institution before completing a GCC credential. Prospective students should read it alongside program-level requirements and their own intended pace, especially if they expect to attend part-time or transfer without first earning an associate degree.

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

Glendale Community College's career services can help students investigate occupations and prepare for a job search; those services are not evidence of a particular post-college salary. Earnings depend on the occupation, location, experience, further education, and whether a student enters work immediately or transfers for additional study.

GCC reports access to individual and group career counseling, career-interest tools, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Students comparing programs can use those resources to examine local job requirements and wages. Any published earnings measure should be checked for its population and timing before it is treated as a forecast for an individual graduate.
