What are the graduation rates for students at Green River College?

Green River College's reported overall graduation rate is 39% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. This is a cohort-based completion measure, not a statement that 39% of everyone who attends the college will earn a credential.

Standard graduation-rate measures commonly focus on first-time, full-time students completing within a defined period, often 150% of a program's normal length. That leaves out important experiences at a college serving part-time students, returning adults, and students who transfer before completing a Green River credential. The figure is useful for asking about completion support, but it cannot by itself explain why an individual student did or did not finish. Applicants comparing programs should ask for outcomes specific to the credential and student population that resemble their own plans.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Green River College?

No reliable, comparable one-year post-completion earnings figure is established here for Green River College's individual fields of study. A salary claim for computer programming, aviation, nursing, business, or another program would therefore be misleading.

When evaluating published earnings elsewhere, students should check whether a number is a median or an average, when earnings were measured, and which former students were included. Such figures can omit people without matched wage records and may reflect prior work experience, local wages, further education, and differences between programs. Green River's career support can assist with a job search, but access to that support is not a verified employment or salary outcome.
