What are the graduation rates for students at Indian River State College?

Indian River State College's reported overall graduation rate is 45% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. That figure describes a defined reporting cohort; it is not the percentage of every person who ever enrolled at the college who eventually earned a credential.

Federal graduation measures commonly focus on first-time, full-time students completing within a specified period. That scope is especially important at a college that also enrolls transfer students, part-time students, and people taking career courses. A student who transfers before finishing at IRSC may have a different educational outcome from one who leaves college altogether, even though a graduation measure may not capture that distinction. Applicants comparing programs should ask for completion, licensure, or transfer outcomes specific to the credential they want.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Indian River State College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures show substantial variation in reported earnings one year after completion at Indian River State College. The supplied one-year figures include $63,034 for registered nursing, $41,436 for computer and information sciences, and $26,863 for graphic communications.

These are field-level median earnings measures for the federally aided completers included in the Scorecard's reporting population who were working and not enrolled at the measurement point. They are not starting-salary offers to every graduate, and the figures do not isolate the effects of the college from occupation, location, prior work experience, or the particular credential completed. Some students also continue their education rather than enter full-time employment immediately.

One-year earnings are useful for comparing possible career paths, but students should consider program costs, licensing requirements, employment prospects, and longer-term goals alongside them. A field with higher reported earnings may also require selective admission, clinical training, or professional licensure.
